Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats, peel the sweet potato and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and roast for 20 minutes or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
While the sweet potato roasts, prepare the kale. Remove the tough stems and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. Massage the kale with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt for 1–2 minutes until tender and slightly wilted.
Slice the apple thinly, keeping the slices uniform for presentation.
To assemble the bowl, start with a base of quinoa and kale. Top with roasted sweet potato, sliced apple, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. If you're including chicken, add the roasted chicken breast as well.
Drizzle the bowl with dairy-free balsamic vinaigrette and dollop with cashew cream for a creamy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, dairy-free Harvest Bowl!
