I usually prepare this salad when I have some leftover of cooked quinoa. I combine it with whatever herbs and crudités (raw vegetables) I have in my pantry. It’s really versatile! Most of all, it’s healthy and piquant!
NB: you can do it in advance and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to eat!
Ingredients
- Approximately one cup of cooked quinoa
- 2 medium tomatoes and 2 garlic cloves, crushed in the blender
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- Handful of parsley, finely chopped
- Handful of rocket, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
- 2 or 3 radishes, cut into small pieces
- 1 baby cucumber, diced into small cubes
- 1 small capsicum (any colour), diced into small cubes
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Lemon juice, to taste
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of chili powder ( optional)
Method
Step 1
After having blended the tomatoes and the garlic into a smooth mixture, add it to the quinoa together with the chopped crudités and all the other ingredients. Mix well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed!
