Quinoa, the ultimate superfood, brings lots of healthy goodness into our lives. Very satisfying and nutritionally beneficial, it is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamin B, iron and many antioxidants. Here’s how to make this simple, delicious quinoa salad.

 

Ingredients: (4 people)

 

1 cup water

 

½ cup quinoa

 

500 g. broccoli

 

150 g. feta, cut into cubes

 

Olive oil, lemon, salt

 

Method:

 

Prepare the quinoa first.   Add the water and quinoa into a saucepan and boil over medium heat (or according to package instructions). Once the water has reached boiling point, reduce heat and simmer until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the water, about 15-20 minutes. In a separate pot, boil the broccoli.  Once cooked, combine the broccoli, the quinoa, and feta cubes in a large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon. Season with salt (to taste). And voila, it’s 'Ready!
