Quinoa has become very popular recently, being considered a superfood by many. She used quinoa as an alternative to couscous as unlike couscous quinoa was a whole grain and thus high on fiber, but that unfortunately didn't mean it was less caloric. This recipe is a nice option for salad that is a bit more filling so a nice alternative for healthy lunch for example. Simply cook the quinoa separately until soft, place all the ingredients above in a bowl and stir with the quinoa gently together. Season with salt and pepper, pour over dressing made of lemon juice, olive oil and mustard.

Bon Appetit!
