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.
