Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups beets (coarsely grated)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup feta (crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instruction

  • Put the quinoa and water in a pan and cover with a lid. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to simmer for around 12-15 minutes until all the water has gone and the tendrils of the quinoa bloom.
  • While quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the salad - grate the beets, chop the parsley and mix together the dressing ingredients. Try to mash the feta into the dressing to be relatively smooth.
  • Once quinoa is cooked, remove from the heat and add the dressing and beets. Mix through well. Leave to cool a little more before adding raisins and parsley. Serve room temperature or cool. You can add a little more crumbled feta to the salad if you like, as in the pictures above.
