i was wandering around woolies this morning trying to find some inspiration for my work lunches when i bumped into my friend jess, she suggested a quinoa salad – so here is my take on her quinoa salad!
i am not really convinced that a salad ever warrants a recipe, its a bit like having a recipe for a sandwich!
anyway, obviously a cup of quinoa cooked and cooled, a red onion, a packet of craisins (dried cranberries), mint, coriander, parsley, capers, gerkin, fetta and seeded and diced choc cherry tomatoes.
i had a couple of peking duck breasts i sliced and tossed into the salad, dressing is just some fresh lime juice and a sploosh of olive oil.
plenty of options for other ingredients to flavour the salad to your desire, jess also mentioned baby spinach, i reckon rocket would work too. its a nice alternative to a rice salad really and the quinoa is an unusual texture which adds to the overall flavour of the salad.
