Warm Quinoa Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 bunch baby beetroot, washed & trimmed

1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 cup vegetable stock

250g pumpkin, cut into 1.5 cm slices

2 tsp olive oil

1 tbs walnuts, roughly chopped

20g goat's cheese, crumbled

2 tbs fresh parsley, roughly chopped

salt & pepper

2 tsp olive oil, extra

1 tsp balsamic vinegar


Method

1. Preheat oven to 200 C. Wrap baby beetroot in foil and roast for approximately 20-30 minutes until tender. Remove from oven, and once cool enough to handle, peel the skins then cut into slices.

2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add quinoa and stock and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer for around 8-10 minutes or until stock has absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork.

3. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over medium-high heat, brush pumpkin slices with olive oil and grill 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked.

4. In a large bowl, toss quinoa with walnuts, goat's cheese and parsley, and season with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Gently fold in the beets and pumpkin and serve immediately.
