- 5.In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, chopped red onion, and most of the toasted walnuts and fresh parsley.
- 6.Pour the lemon-tahini dressing over the pilaf and toss gently to combine everything. Garnish with the remaining walnuts and parsley before serving warm.
