Are you ready for more asparagus? I sure hope so because today we talk these yukon potato spring vegetable bowls.

Filled with yukon potatoes (obviously), asparagus, broccoli, quinoa and a creamy, dreamy dressing.

Now, today’s recipe is sort of a mash-up, if you will, of two dinner staples at our house.

First up, we have my roasted spring vegetable salad with tahini dressing. Easy and perfect for this time of the year.

Second, we have these warm and roasted winter salad bowls from Oh She Glows. They are on constant repeat when it comes to an easy dinner during the week. So you should totally go make them too.

Both of which bring us to today. We’re taking different elements and ideas from each and merging them into one delicious, asparagus filled bowl.

It may not be the prettiest dish on the block, but what it lacks in looks it sure does make up for in taste.

It’s spring-y, yet comforting and totally filling at the same time. Major love.

Tripled by the fact that it keeps well fully assembled, making most excellent leftovers for lunch.

So, let’s talk the components, shall we?

We start with a big tray of roasted veggies – creamy dreamy yukon potatoes, springtime asparagus and broccoli (because I love it).

The veggies get mixed together with some warm quinoa, a touch of greens, some almonds for crunch and some raisins for sweetness. And then, it all gets tossed in a tahini vinaigrette.

Which, I might add, is a great way to start enjoying tahini if it’s something you’re not super familiar with – the flavor is there but not as prominent as with a straight up tahini sauce.

And then, we eat!

  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

For the salad:

  • ½ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ½ cups lightly packed baby arugula, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds, plus extra for serving

For the dressing:

  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 ½ tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • pinch of pepper

Instructions

For the veggies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Add the potatoes, asparagus and broccoli to a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread in an even layer.

  2. Turn off the heat and let the pan sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the quinoa with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl.
  3. To the large bowl, add the arugula, green onion, chickpeas, almonds, raisins and the slightly cooled veggies. Set aside.

For the dressing:

  1. Add the olive oil, tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Taste and add more salt / pepper to your liking.
