I saw these radishes from across the produce section at Whole Foods and I knew that we were meant to be together. I dashed across the store as if in a mad race with all the other shoppers to fight for the last remaining bunch of Easter Egg Radishes. In reality, no one around seemed to notice these fine veggies and I had my pick from a rather large stack of them.

We need another angle of those radishes, yea?

But the truth is, since I’m being truthful this morning, I don’t genuinely like radishes that much. Or rather, I don’t particularly much want a big salad full of them. While I had never tried it up until constructing this bowl, I’d heard that roasting radishes drastically changes their flavor and gives them a much milder taste. So, that’s what we’re doing here.

Plus, fall is coming and that means I want all of my food warm and comforting. So, let’s roast our veggies today.

I timed everything out perfectly so that I could start the quinoa and lentils cooking on the stove at simply the right time so that once the veggies were done roasting, the veggie bowls would come together in a snap.

I also decided to try some of this multi-color quinoa. Because, why not?

While the quinoa and lentils are cooking and the veggies are in the oven, let’s make the dressing. The flavor-packed, good, and creamy cashew dressing. This veggie bowl was also an excuse to try out a cashew dressing. Pre-soaked cashews, water, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and some S&P are added to a food processor to get comforting.

Once blended all together, the creaminess is only almost too much to handle. I want this on every. single. salad!

Honestly, it has a similar consistency to hummus but works OH so well on a salad (or veggie bowl!).

Around the time that your veggies are done roasting, your quinoa and lentils are likely about done as well.

Now all you genuinely need to do is throw it all together in a bowl.

I wanted a bit more green so I added some arugula to the side of the quinoa and lentils:

That was topped with the sliced up veggies

Which was then drizzled with our Flavor-packed cashew dressing. I truly love this dressing.

It’s not as pretty all mixed together and half eaten. But it sure is good!
