Cook on the stove according to the instructions on the package, or in an instant pot with 1 1\/4 cups water for 1 minute on high pressure and then 16 minutes natural release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coarsely chop walnuts, if using. Wash and trim your selected veggies. Trim into bite-sized pieces, or medium cubes. Heat a medium pan over medium heat. If using walnuts, toast in the pan for a minute or two, until fragrant and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add about a tablespoon of olive oil, and add whichever you&#8217;re using of the asparagus, peas, zucchini, white parts of the scallions, and avocado. Season with pepper to taste. Stir-fry about 2-4 minutes until veggies are bright green. Add greens, if using. Either way, cook another minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stir together quinoa, veggies, walnuts, feta, and pesto. Add salt if desired (I find store-bought pesto is very salty, so I don&#8217;t usually add salt). Top with the green portion of the scallions, if you used them. You can serve green quinoa warm or cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This quinoa bowl with pesto and green vegetables is wholesome and flavorful alone or topped with a poached or boiled egg.
