Easiest and quickest quinoa salad

I have a confession, I don't ALWAYS feel like cooking. There are times where I just wish dinner was there waiting for me but, on the nights this isn't possible, this is a quick and healthy meal that always satisfies.



Ingredients:
1 cup of quinoa
1/2 x cucumber
1 x carrot
4 thick slices of haloumi cheese
1/2 Tsp dried coriander
1/2 Tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp rice bran oil
1/2 lemon
1 x tomato

Directions:

  1. Boil the quinoa with water in a pot over medium heat for 15 mins (or as the back of the packet suggests)
  2. Drain water from quinoa once cooked and set quinoa aside in a bowl
  3. In a frying pan add the rice bran oil and leave it for 30 secs over a medium heat so the oil gets hot
  4. Add the haloumi slices into the pan and cook on each side until nice and golden
  5. Chop cucumber into small squares and place into quinoa
  6. Chop tomato into small squares and place into quinoa
  7. Peel the carrot and then grate it finely - add the grated carrot to quinoa mix
  8. take the haloumi out of the frying pan and cut into cubes the same size as you did the cucumber, then place in with quinoa
  9. To dress the quinoa add the olive oil, sea salt, dried coriander, lemon juice and black pepper into the bowl
  10. Mix all the ingredients together and then plate up!
