Fresh Quinoa Salad
Author: 
Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup flaked almonds
  • ½ cup quinoa
  • 1-2 spring onions
  • ½ avocado
  • 2 big handfuls fresh spinach
  • Small handful of fresh parsley
  • 4-5 baby tomatoes
  • ½ lemon
  • Tablespoon tahini
  • Pinch sugar
  • ½ teaspoon mustard
Instructions
  1. Cook the quinoa (basically you put the same amount of water as the quinoa plus a bit more and boil it like rice, but it doesn't stick together or anything like rice. It usually takes about 10 minutes).
  2. Toast the almonds by putting them in a dry frypan (no oil) and tossing them. You can tell when they're done when you can smell them.
  3. Chop the tomatoes, spinach, avocado, parsley and spring onion.
  4. Mix the tahini, lemon juice, mustard and sugar together. Add more lemon (of even lime juice) if you want a thinner consistency. It should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing.
  5. Then, mix it all together!
Notes
The sugar really adds something to the dressing. Don't leave it out.
You can also add a bit of fresh chilli if you want to give it some bite.
At the end, you could also drizzle with a touch of flax seed oil.
