I love making this quinoa veggie slice with green goddess dressing for a family friendly dinner, make-ahead lunches, vibrant picnic food or for a nutrient rich savoury snack.
The colourful quinoa veggie slice is quick, easy and packed with nutrition. Paired perfectly with my secret Green Goddess Dressing full of fresh flavour and nutrient dense ingredients.

The quinoa veggie slice provides a great source of protein; from quinoa and eggs. With the filling providing a good serve of vegetables for fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
The green goddess dressing is nutrient rich providing a fantastic source of healthy fats (thanks to avocado and extra virgin olive oil) as well as the antibacterial benefits of Manuka honey and garlic.
Green Goddess Dressing:
The Green Goddess is next level! The colour, flavour and healthy ingredients will not only nourish but add a punch of nutritional flavour to this slice, salads or your nourish bowls.
Made with whole food superfood ingredients including avocado, extra virgin olive oil and Active Manuka Honey to balance with natural sweetness and add the nutritional benefits of Manuka Honey.
I used 100% Australian Active Manuka Honey by Capilano, which is a potent superfood with naturally bioactive MGO levels. MGO levels in Manuka honey are the key component attributed to the unique antibacterial activity of Active Manuka honey.
The Capilano Active Manuka honey also has a mild, more pleasant flavour than other brands I’ve tried making it perfect to add to family dishes.

Recipe Variations:
What I love about this recipe is its versatility where you can substitute any of the vegetables for your favourites and what’s in season.

I haven’t made this yet but looks delicious. Capsicum/zucchini sizes vary. How much capsicum and zucchini by weight or cup would be useful. Can you supply weights or cups please?
Hi. Thank you for your interest in making the recipe. Yes of course, thank you for the reminder, I have added in the approximate amounts of grams for the vegetables (as yes they can certainly vary).
Looks delish! Can’t wait to make this. How many cups of quinoa seeds is this? Cheers
Hi Anita, it is 2 cups cooked quinoa (approx 3/4 cups uncooked seeds). I hope you enjoy the recipe!
So how can I make this recipe without using the eggs (I am allergic)
Hi there, instead of eggs you could combine the quinoa and veggies together with chickpea flour and water to make fritters.
