Level: Beginner
SERVES: 6 people
ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
Half a cup of rinsed quinoa
1 cup of stock
Handful of cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp sunflower seed
2 thinly sliced spring onions
Half a cup of cubed feta cheese
Half a cup of diced cucumber
Half a cup of Pomegranate seeds
Maldon Sea Salt
Kissed Paprika Salad Dressing
This quantity is perfect for 4 people as part of a meal or for 2 to 3 people if it is the star of the show!
Directions:
STEP ONE
Simmer half a cup of quinoa, in one cup of stock, with the lid on, for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid is gone.
STEP TWO
Chop a handful of cherry tomatoes or 2 campari tomatoes into a mixing bowl and sprinkle a teaspoon of Maldon Sea Salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. I always add a sprinkle of Maldon Sea Salt to tomatoes before adding them to any dish, it intensifies their flavour and releases their juices, which, when mixed with the dressing is SO delicious
STEP THREE
Add 2 tablespoons of Kissed Paprika Salad Dressing to the tomatoes and allow them to relax until the quinoa has cooled. Add the cooled quinoa to the tomatoes and then mix in with the rest of the ingredients
