Put in a blender, or just cut into small pieces and mix thoroughly, the following:
8 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1.5 tsp sea salt
1 bunch fresh mint
1 bunch fresh coriander (you can also use parsley if coriander is not your thing)
some flaxseed (optional)
3 or 4 spring onions
juice of one lemon
You can spread the above on a normal green salad, or delicious on a bed of grilled aubergines or courgettes.
Quinoa is all about what you mix it with, and this quick recipe blends the following healthy ingredients nicely.
You will need:
1 chopped cucumber
Half an iceberg lettuce, chopped
200g sugar snaps or any other similar crunchy vegetables, cooked 5 mins in lightly salty boiling water
150g quinoa – follow the pack for instructions on how to cook (I cooked for 8 mins and then added the sugar snaps and cooked for a further 5 mins, to save on time and effort)
300 g baked salmon at 210oC for 12 mins, sprinkled with ground sea salt and pepper
Mix the above, and sprinkle with some olive oil and serve with a side dressing very easily made from:
250g creme fraiche or yogurt
15g dill
