Introduction
Superfood Salad has everything you need in it to keep you going throughout the day.
Method
- If you have cooled leftover quinoa, use this. Otherwise, wash 1 cup of dried quinoa, drain it and add it to a pan with double the quantity of water and a tsp of good-quality stock powder.
- Bring to the boil, reduce heat to a low simmer, and allow to absorb all water. This may take up to 20 mins. Allow to cool before adding to the salad.
- Meanwhile, mix a generous portion of rocket and spinach leaves in a bowl with the olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar. Add the chosen nuts, I like a mix of fresh walnuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Slice the avocado and beetroot thinly, and mix through the salad/nuts mix.
- To serve, place a cup of quinoa on a plate, add the salad mix and decorate with Parmesan shavings.
