Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

For Quinoa Salad:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 cup sliced grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced cucumber, quartered
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion

For Quinoa Salad Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For Tzatzaki Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain full fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. tahini
  • 1 whole garlic clove
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 tbsp. hemp seed hearts
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp. fresh dill, plus more for garnish
  • 4 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a fork can easily be inserted into the flesh of the potatoes.
  3. When the sweet potatoes have about 20 minutes left, cook quinoa with broth for 20 minutes.

  4. Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, let cool slightly. Once cool, cut the sweet potatoes open and shred the flesh from the skin so that the inside is mashed and easy to scoop out.

For Greek Quinoa Stuffing:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa and the rest of the ingredients for quinoa salad. Set aside.
  2. In a separate small mixing bowl, make the quinoa salad dressing by adding the ingredients for the dressing and whisking them together.

  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and then toss everything to combine evenly. Set aside.

For Tzatzaki Sauce:

  1. Combine ingredients for tzatziki sauce in a food processor.
  2. Blend and taste. You may need to add a little more milk to make it loose enough to drizzle.
  3. Stuff the baked sweet potato with the greek quinoa salad and then drizzle with tzatzaki and some chopped fresh dill.
