Quinoa, Blueberry & Goat’s Cheese Salad

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (300g) quinoa
400g podded fresh, or frozen broad beans
1 1/2 cups (150g) walnut halves, lightly roasted
2 x 125g punnets blueberries
150g soft goat’s cheese
6 radishes, thinly sliced
1 ruby red grapefruit, segmented
1 large handful mint leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold running water. Place the quinoa in a medium saucepan and cover with four times its volume of cold water. Bring to the boil, decrease the heat to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside to drain thoroughly.

2

Cook the broad beans in a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and refresh in a bowl of iced water, until cold. Drain and peel off the tough outer skin, to expose the bright green beans.

3

Combine the quinoa, broad beans, walnuts, blueberries, goat’s cheese, radish grapefruit and mint in a large bowl. Add the oil, lemon juice and chilli flakes and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
