The Flaxen Owl

I originally thought quinoa could only be served hot, but was told it also works well in salads. So thank you to ‘puddingem’ who gave me the idea to do this. I tried this out today for lunch and it was quite delicious.
 The great thing about salads, is that there are no rules. You don’t need precise measurements and you can use whatever ingredients you want.

I used: 
-Quinoa (half a cup of uncooked quinoa for a single serving)
-Grated carrot
-Diced cucumber
-Corn kernels
-Feta cheese
-Fresh oregano, basil and rocket
-Halved cherry tomatoes
-Balsamic vinegar & olive oil for the dressing.

I really liked how the salad turned out, it was the perfect amount for one lunch serving. It was delicious and filling without being heavy, a lovely lunch for a warm summers day.

Let me know if you have any favourite recipes.
