Fresh Quinoa Salad
I’ve always needed some extra encouragement when it came to eating salad. For one, we can all admit it’s the type of food that’s more than likely only eaten if put on front of us than if we were to hunt for it ourselves. Secondly, it never really filled me up. There is no denying, however, the huge health benefits of salad, being so packed with vitamins and fibre, so I decided to make it more appealing. As you can see in the below image, I’ve added some healthy carbs to ensure the meal fills you up, and a mixture of tastes from sweet to slightly spicy. I must say, making this dish was the first time I had to box up some remaining salad as I was too full to finish!
