Ingredients

  • 1 cup tri-coloured quinoa
  • 80 grams baby spinach leaves
  • 2 nectarines choose ripe ones, and remove the stone then slice
  • 1 avocado stone removed and sliced
  • 1 handful walnuts
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions. We use 1 cup of dry quinoa to 2 cups of liquid stock. Once cooked, leave it to cool.
  • Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of honey to make the dressing.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the walnuts out in a single layer. Drizzle with the remaining honey and bake until the honey starts to caramelise. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Place the cooled quinoa into a large bowl and toss through the spinach, nectarine, and avocado slices. Finish with the honeyed walnuts and a generous pour of dressing before serving.
