Are you a fan of Mediterranean food? I am! And also a fan of salads. So I combined both and I created a yummy salad, high in protein and very nutritious. The dish is simple to prepare and very time-efficient.
Servings: 2-3
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30-35 minutes
Total time: 35-40 minutes
Ingredients:
750g halved new potatoes
1/2 red onion
Black olives
Green olives
30g rocket
30g spinach
40g quinoa
1 lemon
3 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs whole grain mustard
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees, fan setting. Weight in new potatoes and cut them on halves. Place potatoes on a large baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, pepper and salt and bake for 30-35 min until golden and soft.
Meanwhile cook quinoa as instructed on the package. When cooked, set aside and prepare other ingredients.
Slice red onion and add it in a separate bowl. Add apple cider vinegar, sugar and pinch of salt. Mix well and leave on the side.
When potatoes are baked, add them to a bowl. Add olives, rocket, spinach, mustard and quinoa and mix all together well.
When mixed through serve the salad and enjoy it warm or cold.
