Let’s make this recipe!
For 5 persons
Ingredients:
For the salad:
dry rinsed quinoa, enough for 5 persons
2 spring onions, washed, cleaned & cut up into rings (white & green part)
1/2 fresh cucumber, peeled & each round cut up into 4 pieces
about 10 small tomatoes, each one cut up lengthways into 2
1 + 1/2 stalk of green celery, cleaned, cut up into smaller pieces
black pepper
some Maldon sea salt
fresh washed, spun dry, young salad leaves from the garden, like yellow purslane, mustard greens, cut away green salad leaves, cut away red salad leaves, …
fresh washed, spun dry, herbs from the garden like chives, chervil, …
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons of a fruity extra virgin olive oil
1 + 1/2 tablespoon of a good aged balsamic vinegar
5 grins of black pepper
a few pinches of Maldon sea salt
Method:
Cook quinoa according to packet instructions & add celery bits too. I added a bit of a good vegan stock to it. Cook until just al dente. Drain excess water, if you need to. Drain well. Spread quinoa & cooked celery bits onto a big plate & place into the fridge to, cool down completely, for at least 1 hour. After that, add cucumber, spring onions & tomatoes. Mix it through the quinoa. Season with some black pepper & some salt, but not too much. Place back into the fridge to cool down a bit more.
Make the dressing. Place all ingredients into a fitted empty jam pot & screw lid on. Shake jam pot up & down a bit & taste. It has to taste fab!
Plate up! Place a lot of the mixed salad leaves & herbs onto your plate. Spoon the quinoa-veggies mix on top, in the middle of your plate, as much as you like. Finally, spoon your dressing all over your quinoa-veggies mix. Let’s eat! MMMM!
Variations:
- Eat it like this + dressing + some lovely vegan feta or real marinated feta cubes!
- Eat it like this minus the dressing + serve with some good organic pork gyros with some added red bell pepper strips fried in olive oil!
- Eat it like this + dressing + poached organic chicken fillets!
