Instructions
- Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and the quinoa. Return to boil, cover, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.

- While the vegetables and tofu cook, prepare the dressing: Combine all Green Goddess Dressing ingredients, the basil, parsley, microgreens, garlic, apple cider vinegar, tahini and miso paste into a high speed blender. Emuslify until smooth.
- Once the tofu is cooked, let cool slightly, and then place the tofu cubes in a bowl with 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss gently to coat. To assemble the bowls, scoop quinoa into a bowl, then top with the dressed tofu, and avocado, along with cucumber, kiwi, and fresh microgreens as desired. Serve remaining dressing on the side and use as a dip or spoon over the top as desired.
