What You’ll Need:

Quinoa and Kale:
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions and keep warm.
- In a small sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened.

Citrus-Roasted Broccoli:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt, and pepper.
- Spread broccoli on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
Smashed Avocado:
- While quinoa and broccoli cook, smash a whole Hass avocado in a bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly:
- In individual bowls, layer arugula, quinoa and kale mixture, roasted broccoli, and smashed avocado.
- Top with sliced almonds and drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette.
Tip: Add toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for extra texture and protein.
