Nourish bowls are always a favourite of ours because it allows for customization with a variety of veggies. Our recipe blends warm flavours from spiced roasted chickpeas and carrots, sweet dates, and crunchy pistachios. The quinoa makes this pleasantly filling while still being light, and the tahini dressing provides a creamy finish. A harmonious blend of flavours!

So delicious!!


Marguerite De Valois - Feb. 17, 2025, 12:36 p.m.

Le rapport temps et travail/goût me fait mettre cette recette de côté

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 17, 2025, 6:21 p.m.

Hey Marguerite, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the bowl. We love making the dressing while the veggies are roasting to help speed it up. In any case, we hope you enjoy our other recipes more 🫶✨

Marguerite De Valois - March 12, 2025, 2:01 p.m.

✨🙏❤️


india - Jan. 22, 2025, 7:44 p.m.

Such a comfort dish ❤️


Sahaely Leon - Jan. 14, 2025, 7:28 p.m.

Delicious!!


Gina - Jan. 13, 2025, 10:35 p.m.

Great base recipe! I used extra veggies and a different dressing that I happened to have prepped.


Annelies - Jan. 12, 2025, 9:24 p.m.

So good! Replaced the quinoa with pearl couscous and made it with small tomatoes and pine nuts instead of pistachio nuts. Delicious! 😋


Andrea - Jan. 2, 2025, 5:44 a.m.

Delicious! Made it for brunch and it was a huge hit, so much so that my family wanted to eat the leftovers the same night for dinner. And the roasted chickpeas are so good, I’m going to make them on their own just for snacking. Another great recipe…thank you PUL, you don’t disappoint!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2025, 2:58 a.m.

This is amazing to hear, Andrea! So glad it was a hit for brunch and dinner, Andrea 🥰


Angela - Dec. 8, 2024, 6:23 p.m.

Wow, the sauce is so yummy and this is my new favourite meal. I love how your recipes are always no fail.


Talia K - Dec. 2, 2024, 10:44 p.m.

This is such a tasty and quick recipe! I love it!


Darline - Nov. 30, 2024, 2:30 p.m.

We enjoyed it very much!


Steve Elliott - Nov. 2, 2024, 9:26 p.m.

Simply delicious and surprisingly filling. For my lifestyle, exactly as per your recipe unaccompanied it makes an excellent warming lunch for this colder time of year.


Leo - Oct. 21, 2024, 6 p.m.

Wow. That was an impressively fast yet yummy dinner 🤩
I added shredded red cabbage, since it had to be used up. Worked perfectly!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 22, 2024, 7:23 p.m.

So happy to hear that the dinner was enjoyed, Leo 🤩


nohya Amande - Sept. 11, 2024, 9:37 p.m.

It's so so good!! I've doubled the sauce and added red cabbage and it was just perfect, so many interesting tastes!!


Andrea Boros - Aug. 20, 2024, 11:28 p.m.

Literally about to cry from satisfaction 🫠must try recipe 🤌


Jodi - Aug. 12, 2024, 3:13 a.m.

Wow a flavor punch! Love it! I added red onion and red bell pepper. Doubled the dressing. Made this a few time. Stores well and great leftovers.


Noomi Kifarkis - July 21, 2024, 1:26 p.m.

Super easy to make but honestly one of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had. I love how you can just substitute things easily (tahini >cashew butter, dates > cranberries) if you don’t have them. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. 👏🏻


Kristen - July 5, 2024, 10:53 p.m.

Another winner! Loved the complexity of this dish. I mixed all the ingredients ahead of time so I could travel with it and it was STILL perfect. Next time I’ll double the dressing. I also chopped the sun dried tomatoes too finely so they got lost in the salad. Loved the carrots and chickpeas so much I’ll double the amount next time. I also drizzled with some balsamic glaze just because and I liked that addition too. I will bring this one with me on trips regularly. Thanks for another staple in my travel recipes!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 6, 2024, 5:40 a.m.

Gosh we're smiling from ear to ear hearing this! Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe, Kristen 🤗


Stephanie - June 28, 2024, 7:55 p.m.

Wow, so tasty! I had to improvise a little bit and used cranberries since I had neither dates nor apricot in on hand - worked great as well. This is going to be a new go-to recipe!


mareike - May 19, 2024, 8:12 p.m.

Super yummi! We used barberries instead of dates (we hadn‘t had any home) and it worked deliciously as well.


Zheni Koleva - May 14, 2024, 5:47 p.m.

I tried it today and I really liked it. I omitted the dates and used walnuts instead of pistachios. 10/10 would recommend. Simple and delicious.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 14, 2024, 7:05 p.m.

Lovely idea to modify the bowl, Zheni, thank you! :)


Kia Horner - April 28, 2024, 11:37 p.m.

So delicious! Will make again next week! We haven’t had a recipe that hasn’t been a winner. So thankful for this app.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 29, 2024, 1:13 a.m.

So thrilled to hear this, Kia! We’re excited to continue this adventure together 😊


Isabelle - April 23, 2024, 7:52 p.m.

WoW this one was so yummy 🌸


Maarten Immerzeel - April 18, 2024, 1:52 p.m.

Wow! So many different tastes and structures! I really enjoy every bite of this 🙂. This will become another regular!


Emily - April 10, 2024, 9:58 p.m.

I don't really expect to be surprised by a salad, but this was such an unusual flavour combination - I would never think to put dates and sun-dried tomatoes together but they add so much flavour, and the oregano and a really nice twist on a classic tahini-citrus base. I can also see myself adding extra veggies depending what we have in the fridge - today we had it with kale chips to take advantage of having the oven on. I used pecans instead pistachios, and subbed pumpkin seeds in one portion so I can take it to my nut-free workplace. Thanks for another awesome recipe!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 11, 2024, 3:43 a.m.

Yayy! Love to hear this, Emily, enjoy all the variations 🥰✨


Andrea ruiz - April 9, 2024, 9:55 p.m.

Ammm wtf this salad is amazing. We just did it for lunch. We had a lot of quinoa and chickpeas leftover from a previous dinner and wow. The dressing really is amazing.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 9, 2024, 10:17 p.m.

So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Andrea! The dressing is one of our favourites 🙌


Poiven Capp - March 17, 2024, 5:19 a.m.

so good! I was a little uncertain about how the dates would fit in with this savory dish (especially alongside sun-dried tomatoes) but it worked well! with grain bowls like this I often like to add a base layer of greens, in this case I used massaged kale (and made double the sauce). I will definitely be revisiting this one!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 19, 2024, 12:26 a.m.

Mmm a lovely idea to add massaged kale, Poiven! So happy to hear that the bowl was enjoyed 😊


Elyse - March 12, 2024, 3:16 a.m.

I love this dish! I’ve made it a few times and , actually, pulled up the recipe this past time just to make the dressing. I actually have an inquiry/request, if possible: your dressings and vinaigrettes are all so primo! I love all the stand-alone dressing recipes but, also, the ones embedded or that are part of other recipes (like here ). I’m wondering if it would be possible to have a “dressings” category in the search feature of the app? NBD if it’s not possible, but just thought I’d ask- - thank you! 💕

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 12, 2024, 5:33 a.m.

So thrilled to hear you're enjoying the dish and our dressings, Elyse! We'll add your suggestion of a "dressings" category to our list of features to consider for future updates. In the meantime, in case it helps, our dressings (though not all that are in recipes) are in the "salad" filter 🤗

Elyse - March 12, 2024, 3:43 p.m.

Thank you so much! 💕 yes, indeed - - I’ve been using the “salads” search filter, which is super helpful! And I’ve been trying to bookmark the recipes with dressings that I love (pretty much all of them!:) Thank you, as always! Appreciate you all ! 🫶


Purva Pujari - March 12, 2024, 2:21 a.m.

Amazing!!!!


Iva - March 9, 2024, 9:54 p.m.

Love it


LaurenTheLame - Feb. 15, 2024, 4:46 a.m.

This recipe is on repeat!! Soooo good! I add broccoli for some extra greens. I chop them until tiny florets and they crisp nicely along with the carrots and chickpeas. Don’t skimp on the sun dried tomatoes/ dates!


Candi H - Feb. 3, 2024, 1:01 p.m.

Onr of my favs! Love this especially in the summer!


Angela - Jan. 24, 2024, 1:54 p.m.

Amazing!! I love it!! Thank you!


Mariela - Jan. 10, 2024, 6:17 a.m.

Amazing! Added some tofu to the baked ingredients and replaced the tahini with pb


Anna - Jan. 7, 2024, 9 p.m.

Both my husband and I loved it! Easy to make and so nutritious. I will definitely make it more often :)


Susan Campanelli - Jan. 6, 2024, 2:08 a.m.

Love this. Added a base layer of lacinato kale. I massaged some of the dressing in while I waited for the veggies to come out of the oven. Excellent combo of veggies, I made a double batch of dressing so each guest could add their own.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 7, 2024, 8:23 p.m.

So happy that you enjoyed the tahini quinoa bowl, Susan, thank you! :)


Raquel Morais - Dec. 6, 2023, 9:05 p.m.

The flavours are amazing! It really surprised me!


Lara - Dec. 3, 2023, 3:52 p.m.

really good, made it with white rice and beans instead :)


Samara - Nov. 28, 2023, 2:41 a.m.

Never knew something so healthy could taste so good! So easy to make and so flavourful!!


Elyse L. - Nov. 1, 2023, 3:17 a.m.

Super delicious! I was scanning for a good early-week meal for leftovers and this one is super easy and comes together very quickly. The dressing is also so great that I’ve found myself making just that part to have for salads, too


Victoire Hervé - Oct. 15, 2023, 1:06 p.m.

Incredible flavour mix and perfect timing measurement, thanks!


Lia Silva - Oct. 10, 2023, 1:07 p.m.

Wow! What a delicious mix of flavours and textures!!! I made this recipe to challenge myself. I was skeptic about the tahini dressing since I haven’t found a recipe that I enjoy yet, but it is super tasty!! Congrats PUL team!!


Kaylin - Oct. 9, 2023, 6:56 p.m.

Sooooo excellent. So delicious!


Arkadiusz - Oct. 1, 2023, 9:58 p.m.

Absolutely blown away by this one. Thank you!


Nova - Sept. 4, 2023, 8:41 p.m.

Soooo good! 😍 A perfect mixturs of sweet, sour and salt! I added a bullion cube to the quinoa to give it extra flavor and added some fresh spinach. Since I used Tahina instead of tahini which was much more liquidy, I had to make a double batch of the dressing as the quinoa soaked it all up!


Jasmyne - Sept. 4, 2023, 5:31 p.m.

Nutty, tangy, sweet, savory, what’s not to love!? Love all the different textures. Plus, my hubby loved it too, and he doesn’t like quinoa! Definitely adding it to the rotation.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 5, 2023, 6:23 a.m.

Woop woop 🤩 it means so much, Jasmyne, thank you!


nedajane - Aug. 28, 2023, 4:16 a.m.

Excellent balance of sweet and savory 😋 usually not a fan of quinoa, but dressing it up and the extra boosts of flavor from the dates and sun dried tomatoes elevate the flavor. Thank you PUL! I look forward to the left overs this week!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 31, 2023, 2:45 a.m.

Whoop whoop! Thank you, Nedajane, it means so much 🤗


Melissa Laroche - Aug. 16, 2023, 2:12 p.m.

Deliciously comforting. You can add any veggies to the recipe. I had leeks and it went great too.
Personally i added a bit of feta cheese as a topping 🥰


Amy - Aug. 13, 2023, 2:22 a.m.

The dressing is so dang good! Added extra veggies to the roasting pan that were needing to be eaten and no matter what you add to this dish, it is a winner!


Amy - Aug. 12, 2023, 7:34 p.m.

Delicious!! I added half an onion to the roast veggies and topped with shredded red cabbage for extra crunch and it’s SO good! 😍


Linda Fe - Aug. 10, 2023, 3:01 a.m.

This one is getting added to the regular rotation! It is tasty even without the dressing - although the dressing/sauce really brings it all together! Great for batch meals/sides!


Tina Simpson - Aug. 1, 2023, 1:22 a.m.

I can eat this one on repeat!


Kathryn - July 30, 2023, 5:42 p.m.

This recipe was SOOO good!!! I added broccoli, onions and peppers to the roasted veggies listed and it was still delicious. Leftovers were even better. Definitely making this again!!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 30, 2023, 9:34 p.m.

Ooo sounds delicious 😍 Thanks, Kathryn!


Christina - July 26, 2023, 9:03 p.m.


Jennifer Santoro - July 20, 2023, 12:16 a.m.

Great!


Lisa Soukehal - July 14, 2023, 8:06 p.m.

Just made this & definitely will again. Leftovers will be for my lunch for work. Made the quinoa the night before so this came together fairly quickly.


Alice - July 10, 2023, 4:15 p.m.

Absolutely loved this recipe. It’s easy to make, packed with flavours and extremely filling. I added a bit of vegan goat cheese on top of each serving for extra texture and colour contrast. No leftovers, everybody loved it !

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 13, 2023, 2:48 a.m.

Woop woop 😃 sounds lovely, Alice, thank you!

Anisha McClure - June 30, 2023, 3:09 a.m.

I don’t typically love quinoa but this is delicious!!! The flavors really work. Kelly the dressing separate so it wouldn’t get soggy for leftovers.


Noomi Kifarkis - June 26, 2023, 5:48 p.m.

Tasty, nutritious - what’s not to like?😄


Maggie - June 23, 2023, 3:10 a.m.

Simple to make and delicious. I had it for lunch this week and will be having it again in a few days because I want to make it for a few friends/family members. I’m looking forward to having it again so soon and I’m sure it’ll be a hit!!

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 23, 2023, 7:19 a.m.

Woohoo 😃 Happy cooking, Maggie!


Tina - June 21, 2023, 7:33 a.m.

So good! I just had some fresh coriander in my fridge so I used it instead of the parsley and it was so delicious! We will definitely make this again!


Carissa Joy - May 21, 2023, 8:26 p.m.

This was incredibly good. If I’m honest, my expectations were not high as we are not typically quinoa lovers. But the variety of flavors and textures made this utterly delicious and anything but boring. This will be a regular staple in our house.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 22, 2023, 3:24 a.m.

Oh we're so thrilled to hear, Carissa - thanks a bunch 🤗


Erika - May 10, 2023, 1:42 a.m.

Really amazing! I also added some clementine pieces and it suited the flavours really well!

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 10, 2023, 3:41 a.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Erika!
