The OG Quinoa Salad
You’ll need:
— 1 cup quinoa (rinsed or pre-cooked)
— 1 chicken breast, boiled and shredded
— 2 tbsp peanuts, roughly chopped
— 2 spring onions, finely sliced
— 2 handfuls fresh spinach, chopped
— ½ cucumber, diced
— A small handful of sprouts (alfalfa or radish)
For the dressing:
— 1 tbsp cold-pressed sesame oil
— Juice of 1 lemon or lime
— 1 tsp honey
— Salt, to taste
— A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
— 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce (optional)
Method:
1. Cook the quinoa if needed, and shred the chicken.
2. Chop the spinach, cucumber, spring onions, and sprouts.
3. Mix up your sesame-lemon dressing—combine sesame oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and chili flakes.
4. Toss the quinoa, chicken, veggies, and peanuts together. Drizzle with the dressing, mix well, and enjoy.
Tip: Add extra peanuts or a squeeze of lime for more crunch and freshness.
