Quinoa and vegetable salad

Total Cook Time

Prep 5 min Cook 5 min

Ingredients

  • 2 celery sticks
  • 50g sugar snap peas
  • 2 long sweet red peppers or half a regular pepper
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 90g quinoa
  • 1/2 vegetable stock cube
  • 3 thumbs of avocado
  • 1 teaspoons toasted mixed seeds/nuts
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, hard boiled

Method

  1. Rinse the quinoa in cold water. Add quinoa to a pan with water and the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
  2. Cook the quinoa until it has unfurled. Drain and rinse under cold water; this time to cool it down.
  3. Press it with the back of a spoon in the sieve to expel excess water.
  4. Parboil the sugar snap peas for a minute then rinse under cold water so that they retain their crunch and brightness.
  5. Finely chop all the other ingredients.
  6. Mix everything together and serve.

Notes

Sugar snap peas could be added raw. Chopped chilli will also work well in this.
