🪶 “A Little Bird Told Me to Eat This Bowl”
“It’s light, it’s flavorful, and yes, it’s a quail of a good time.”
🥗 Ingredients (Serves 2–3 bird lovers)
🟢 The Veggie Power Base:
• 2 cups broccoli slaw mix (broccoli stems, shredded carrots, red cabbage, pre-packed = peace of mind)
• 1 cup baby spinach or kale, chopped
• ½ avocado, cubed (because we’re still millennials at heart)
• ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional but crunchy-cute)
🪶 The Protein:
• 1½ cups shredded roasted or grilled quail (about 2–3 small birds, they’re petite, like gourmet royalty)
• Optional: quick pan-sear with garlic & herbs for extra flavor
🧄 Zippy Garlic-Lime Dressing:
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
• 1 tsp honey or agave
• Salt & pepper to taste
Joke break:
Why don’t quail hang out with turkeys?
Because they prefer the finer things, like broccoli slaw and inner peace. 🧘♀️🪶
👨🍳 Instructions
- Cook your quail if it’s not pre-roasted. Roasting or pan-searing with garlic and a pinch of rosemary brings out its delicate flavor. Then, shred that little bird like it whispered your secrets.
- Toss the slaw, spinach, red onion, and avocado in a large bowl. The colors should pop like confetti at a vegan birthday party.
- Whisk the dressing until smooth and tangy. Pro tip: let it sit for 5 minutes so the garlic really shows up to the party.
- Top the veggies with the shredded quail, drizzle with dressing, and sprinkle sesame seeds for garnish (because texture is everything).
- Serve immediately, or chill it for 30 minutes if you’re a “cold lunch and colder comebacks” kind of person.
🥦 Why This Bowl is Tiny But Mighty
• Quail is lean, protein-rich, and makes you feel like you’re eating at a woodland royal banquet
• Broccoli slaw is crunchy, fresh, and full of fiber
• Avocado + lime + garlic = dressing MVP
• It’s different. It’s daring. It’s dinner that says, “I eat small birds and I’m okay with that.”
Joke break:
What did the broccoli slaw say to the quail?
“You’re not chicken, and I respect that.”
🎯 Final Punchline:
What’s the fanciest salad topping at the Renaissance Faire?
Quail, of course, it’s the knight’s protein of choice. 🏰
