Ingredients
- ½ cup quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ cups beets coarsely grated
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup parsley chopped
For the dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup feta crumbled
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Put the quinoa and water in a pan and cover with a lid. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to simmer for around 12-15 minutes until all the water has gone and the tendrils of the quinoa bloom.
- While quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the salad - grate the beets, chop the parsley and mix together the dressing ingredients. Try to mash the feta into the dressing to be relatively smooth.
- Once quinoa is cooked, remove from the heat and add the dressing and beets. Mix through well. Leave to cool a little more before adding raisins and parsley. Serve room temperature or cool. You can add a little more crumbled feta to the salad if you like, as in the pictures above.
