Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, combine ½ cup thinly sliced radish, ½ cup thinly sliced red onion, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup. Let sit for 30 minutes to pickle while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
-
Step 2.
While the radish and onion pickle, make the dressing: In a blender, combine ¼ medium avocado, ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or water, ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
While the radish and onion continue pickling, prepare the beans: In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add 2 cups cooked black beans, ¼ cup finely diced red onion, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground sweet paprika, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are fragrant and the beans are warmed through. Turn off the heat.
-
Step 4.
Assemble each bowl: Divide 2 cups cooked quinoa, the black bean mixture, 1 cup grated parsnip, 1 sliced medium avocado, 1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, and the pickled radish and onion between two bowls. Garnish each with a lime wedge and serve with the avocado-herb dressing.
