Preparation
Roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Peel and cut the onion into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until golden brown and tender.
Cook the quinoa
Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse the quinoa. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 16 to 18 min., until tender. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, roughly chop the dill stems and fronds. Medium-dice the tomatoes. Halve the cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Quarter the lemon.
Make the vinaigrette
In a small bowl, combine the juice of 2 lemon wedges, 3 tbsp oil (double both for 4 portions), the vinaigrette, ⅔ of the dill, the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the salad & serve
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber and 1 tbsp of the vinaigrette (double for 4 portions). Divide the quinoa between your bowls. Top with the vegetables and salad. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Garnish with the remaining dill and lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
