Ingredients

  • 50 g quinoa I used tri-colored quinoa seeds
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 4 small radishes
  • juice from half a lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the quinoa in a tea sieve and wash it a few times under the running water, drain, then add to a small pot to boil in 150ml water and a pinch of salt. Leave to simmer on low heat for 20 minutes or until the water was completely absorbed. Take from the heat and leave to cool completely.
  • Cut the cucumber in quarters length-wise and remove the seeds, chop the remaining pulp and add to a salad bowl.
  • Cut/ slice/ chop the remaining vegetables as you like and toss them in the bowl.
  • Add the quinoa seeds, then mix thoroughly.
  • If you are serving this right away, then add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, if you prepare it for take-away, add these last ingredients just before you serve the salad.
  • Enjoy!
