Upute

Make candied cashews: Heat a wide skillet over medium heat, and then add 1 cup of cashews, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne. Stir the nuts around the pan for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly toasted and the maple syrup begins to stick to them. Transfer to a plate or piece of parchment paper, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Allow to cool. If any nuts are stuck together, gently break them apart.

Make quinoa bowls: Make a bed of greens at the bottom of two salad bowls. Stir two tablespoons of the lemon garlic tahini dressing into 1 cup of cooked quinoa, then divide between the bowls. Scatter the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, cubes of feta cheese, and a handful of candied cashews on top. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and then drizzle with the remaining dressing.
