Ingredients

For the quinoa

1 cup uncooked quinoa

1 ½ cups water (slightly more may be required)

½ cup broccoli, finely diced

1 small red onion, diced

¼ cup carrot, grated

½ cup coriander, chopped

2 spring onions, chopped

2 tbsp almonds, chopped

For the dressing

1 lime, zest & juice

1 tsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp tamari (high quality soy sauce)

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, minced

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine mesh strainer to remove the natural coating called saponin, which can cause bitterness

Add the water and quinoa to a medium-sized pan and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
Let the quinoa simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Check regularly, stirring gently from time to time, and add a splash more water to the quinoa if needed to stop it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.

Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the quinoa to fluff up. Use a fork to gently fluff the quinoa.

In a large bowl toss cooked quinoa, broccoli, red onion, carrots, coriander, spring onions and nuts together.
Mix until combined.

In a small bowl combine dressing ingredients.

Dress when ready to eat and enjoy!
