50 g Red Bell Peppers (diced)
50 g Yellow Bell Peppers (diced)
50 g Yellow Zucchini (sliced )
50 g Green Zucchini (sliced )

4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced )

Instructions

In a pan over high flame, add 2 tbsp olive oil and heat. Add all of the vegetables and cook them quickly, in 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the vegetables to a plate and cool them down. You can refrigerate the vegetables to speed up this process.
In a blender jar, add the garlic, balsamic vinegar, brown rice syrup and olive oil. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until a smooth and creamy dressing is formed.
Season the dressing with salt and add the red chilli flakes.
In a large bowl, add the red quinoa and the cooked vegetables. Add 4 to 5 tbsp of the balsamic dressing and mix the salad well.
Plate the salad in bowls and drizzle with the Urban Platter Balsamic Glaze.
