POWER BOWL

Directions

1. While the quinoa is cooking, segment the grapefruit: with a sharp knife, cut a thin slice off ends of the grapefruit. Then cut rind off all the way around, using downward cutting motions. Trim off all remaining white pith. Hold grapefruit over a small bowl, and with a small paring knife, cut out grapefruit and orange segments, capturing any extra juice in the bowl. Discard any seeds.
2. Divide the greens and quinoa between 4 bowls.
3. Arrange the grapefruit and remaining ingredients over the top. Drizzle with the grapefruit juice (whisk in a little olive oil if desired).
4. Sprinkle with pepitas.

   • Crumbled feta is a tasty addition to this bowl as well.
