Questions

Is there a substitute for tahini in Quinoa Bowl?

The entry for Quinoa Bowl calls for 1/4 cup lemon-tahini dressing. In its place: Unsweetened sunflower seed butter or cashew butter is the closest. Smooth natural peanut butter works where its flavor will not fight the dish.

Can I make Quinoa Bowl dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Quinoa Bowl is 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Quinoa Bowl vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan lunch collection.
