Salad Bowl

This is one of my new favourite salads! We've now had it 2 nights in a row, except last night I made it with chicken breast which was just as good.  Since I always just wing it when cooking I'll try to make it as accurate as possible....

Ingredients:

1/2 bunch organic spinach chopped

1 sweet red pepper

2 big tomatoes 

handful of fresh basil chopped

handful rosted pistachios 

1/4 cup semi sprouted mixed sprouts 

1/4 cup crumbled feta 

1/2 cup cooked and cooled quinoa 

half a can of chickpeas:

 washed, drizzled in olive oil, paprika and salt. Broil till golden brown 

1 steak:

fried in butter seasoned with salt, chilli powder and smoked paprika. Cut into thin slices

Dressing;

1/4 cup avocado oil 

1 fresh squeezed lemon juice 

1 tsp. organic dijon mustard 

1.5 tsp. finely grated ginger 

1 finely grated garlic clove

pinch of pink himalayan salt 

pinch of freshly grated pepper 

In my photos the quinoa is beneath the salad, but it can be tossed with everything!

Enjoy 

Garden Quinoa Salad

If you know me you know I just wing recipes, so I'll do my best to make it accurate :)

Garden Quinoa Salad:

1 cup cooked and cooled red or white quinoa

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved 

3 small organic carrots chopped

1/4 of a yellow pepper chopped 

1 or 2 celery sticks chopped

1/4 cup homemade chopped picked beets 

4 large curly kale leaves finely chopped 

4 fresh basil leaves diced

2 tablespoons hemp hearts 

handfull of chopped nuts, I used almond and cashew 

1/4 cup or more crumbled goats cheese 

 A bit of pink himalayan salt, drizzle with olive oil, and white wine vinegar. 

Once served drizzle with Balsamic reduction 

This salad is so delicious, easy to make, and can be substituted with so many yummy things!

Hope you enjoy
