This flavourful quinoa salad is the perfect accompaniment to a heartier meal, or simply a light meal prep ready lunch.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 300g quinoa rinsed
- 40g toasted almond flakes
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- Handful parsley roughly chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Method:
- Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the spices, then fry for a minute or so until fragrant. Add the quinoa, then fry for a further minute until you can hear gentle popping sounds.
- Stir in 600ml boiling water, then gently simmer for 10-15 mins until the water has evaporated and the quinoa grains have a white ‘halo’ around them.
- Allow to cool slightly, then stir through the other ingredients. Serve warm or cold.
