Colourful Quinoa Salad

Colourful Quinoa Salad

Yes yes, another quinoa salad. I can't help it! It's just so easy to make, delicious and is pure protein so amazing as a post-workout meal. And guess what, I didn't even make this, my husband did! The biggest meat eater you'll ever find, has realised how amazing quinoa is and now prefers it as his post-workout meal so he made this after the gym. You really can use whatever vegetables you like but I'll take you through what we used here...

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 and quarter cups water
  • Half tsp bouillon
  • Himalayan salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 2 Cooked beetroot, chopped
  • 3 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 tomatoes
  • Half a fennel bulb
  • Quarter cucumber
  • 2 spring onions
  • Handful of parsley

Method

Put the quinoa in a saucepan and cover with water. Turn down heat once it starts bubbling then put the lid on. Stir every few minutes until ready, about 7 minutes. While it's cooking, chop up your veggies. Once ready, mix all in a bowl and season with a drizzle of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Ready to go! Love, Lauren
