  • 3/4 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Tamari (gluten free)

  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ancho chilli powder

Salad

  • 1 small can sweet corn
  • 4 cups baby greens
  • 1 1/4 cups diced cucumber
  • 1 1/4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 yellow mango, sliced thinly
  • 1 avocado, sliced thinly
  • handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Place the quinoa in a small pan, with the water and Tamari, bring it to boil and simmer, covered with lid for 20 minutes. Place the cooked quinoa in a cast iron pan and add the rest of the ingredients, over medium heat fry until well combined and fragrant.

Layer the greens and all the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl or jar. If using jar, before you serve it, you put the whole content into a large salad bowl and mix it well, add more cilantro and fresh lime juice.
