How to cook
Prepare the quinoa
- Place quinoa in a medium sauce pan with 1 cup of water then bring the water to boil.
- Reduce to low heat, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed - add more water if needed.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and leave covered to cool.
Prepare the salad vegetables
- Chop the broccoli into small florets and steam lightly over boiling water in a steaming basket for 3-4 minutes - only partially steam to keep as many good nutrients as possible.
- Wash and chop spinach and parsley and add to a large salad bowl.
- Add diced red onions, chilies, cherry tomatoes and red bell bell pepper to the salad bowl.
- Deseed the pomegranate and add the seeds and roughly chopped almonds to the salad bowl.
Prepare the salad dressing
- In a small jar with a lid, add the juice of one lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper and shake well.
Assemble and serve
