IN SEASON
QUINOA SALAD WITH FETA, TENDERSTEM® AND POMEGRANATE Serves 4
❤ 300g quinoa ❤ 200g pack Tenderstem® ❤ 200g feta cheese, crumbled ❤ 1 large handful of pumpkin seeds ❤ Seeds from 1 pomegranate ❤ 1 large handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped
❤ 1 large handful of fl at-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
❤ 3-4 ripe tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
❤ 1 bunch spring onions, fi nely sliced ❤ 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil ❤ 3 tbsp lemon juice
1 Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions. Leave to cool in a large mixing bowl.
2 Meanwhile, the Tenderstem® can be
cut into small bite-size pieces and either lightly steamed or boiled, until just tender (4-5 minutes will be about right) and also left to cool.
3 Heat a small frying pan and lightly toast the pumpkin seeds until they are slightly crunchy. Remove from the pan and leave to cool.
4 Once the quinoa and Tenderstem® are
cool, stir together along with the feta, pomegranate seeds, herbs, tomato, spring onions, olive oil and lemon juice. Season with a little salt, (the feta cheese will add a salty fl avour too) and a good twist of black pepper. Toss together until everything is combined and either serve straight away or keep in the fridge.

Joanne says: “Wow this salad is brimming with taste and goodness. Quinoa unlike any other grain, is a complete protein source and so often favoured by vegetarians and those looking to reduce their meat intake. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats like oleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, it also has excellent anti-infl ammatory properties. Tenderstem broccoli is packed with health giving nutrients, especially if it’s steamed gently to preserve the immune boosting vitamin C, iron, vitamin B6 and calcium it contains in high quantities. The pumpkin seeds will help support your immune system as they are a good source of zinc whilst the pomegranate seeds are a super food hero. Packed with disease fi ghting antioxidants, they’re high in vitamin C and fi bre, low in calories and a source of phytochemicals, which promote heart and cell health. Your body will thank you for such a healthy and zingy start to the New Year!
