About me

Ingredients

  • 2 heads of broccoli, chopped and blanched
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (or your preferred grain)
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup mixed chopped herbs (coriander and parsley)
  • 1/2 cup mixed toasted seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, almonds)
  •  

Method

  • Chop the broccoli into florets and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • In a large bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, cooked quinoa, chopped dates, crumbled feta cheese, diced onion, chopped herbs, and toasted seeds.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), salt, pepper, and honey (or maple syrup). Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and toss until well combined.
  • Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Sprinkle extra crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
