Quinoa Salad With Radish, Red Grapes And Blue Cheese

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup red seedless grapes
1/2 cup broad beans
1/2 cup radish, sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced in half, core removed

This experimental salad isn't for everyone, it has some strong mix of flavors going on, but it is worth cooking if you like to eat healthy with a twist. Why not trying something new? Cook quinoa until soft, mix with grapes, radish, cucumber, slightly crushed pecan nuts, broad beans, season with salt, pepper, dash of lemon juice, honey and olive oil, add a few fresh thyme leaves and stir together. Lay on a bed of fresh spinach leaves and top it up with a bit of crumbled blue cheese. 
Bon Appetit!
