Vegan Redemption Bowl With Creamy Roasted Onion Dressing

I have to make up for my weekend binge of eating quite a bit of bread which I try to avoid but I just couldn't help myself. I guess I'm helping to drown my misery with bread. I may do it again soon.

Today I will try to redeem it a bit by having a bowl of quinoa and an assortment of veggies.

It doesn't matter what you put in the bowl. The fun is in the dressing.

Creamy grilled onion dressing.

• One roasted onion
• 1 clove garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon tahini(sesame paste)
• 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/8 cup white balsamic
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 cup olive oil

Add the roasted onion to the blender along with the other ingredients.I didn't roast the garlic but it would be good roasted as well.

For the bowl I used what was in the kitchen. I had purchase some quinoa a while back and thought it was dry. It turned out to be ready to eat so I just added a little water and heated it up in a pot. Quinoa is often eaten cold as a salad but I wanted some hot stuff in my bowl today. I also added some steamed broccoli and sweet potato.

I hope this gives me the license to indulge again. We'll see how much will power I have.
