This quinoa energy bowl is the type of lunch I favored to drag collectively again within the days we might work in our studio in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It was one thing I might make usually as a result of it checks all of the bins — attention-grabbing, seasonal, filling, and nutritious.

The celery brings an unimaginable quantity of taste and depth to the remainder of the dish, and welcomes all types of different toppings – roasted cherry tomatoes, salted dill yogurt, fast pickled crimson onions, chopped olives.
