Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ½ cups beet coarsely grated
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup parsley chopped

For the dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cumin ground

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
