Ingredients

  • 1 batch Lemon Herb Quinoa
  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1 batch Lemon Cashew Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 baking dish and set aside.
  • Prepare the quinoa according to the recipe. Leave in the mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Chop the little ends off the zucchini, then slice them lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the insides (seeds, etc.) to form little boats. You should have 8 total.
  • Place the boats in the baking dish then stuff each with quinoa (the amount will vary depending on the size of your zucchini).
  • Bake the zucchini for 20 - 25 minutes until the quinoa is starting to brown and the zucchini has softened.
  • While the zucchini is baking, whip up the cashew sauce. Set aside until you're ready to serve.
  • Remove the zucchini from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. When ready to serve, drizzle with cashew sauce.
