Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
with cucumber, tomato and parsley
A perfect quinoa salad to make-ahead for picnics and summer lunches. Nutty quinoa is paired with chopped crunchy vegetables – tomato, cucumber and radishes, lots of fresh parsley and a high-protein salad dressing made using our neutral whey protein.
Preparation
-
Quinoa and water and stock into a pot. Bring to the boil then turn head down to low, simmer for 15 minutes until water is almost fully absorbed. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid, let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the remaining liquid. Uncover and spread out on a plate then let cool for at least 5 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, radishes, parsley and onion to the plate of quinoa and toss together.
-
For the dressing, whisk the orange juice into the miso paste in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the whey protein and apple cider vinegar and whisk again until smooth and creamy.
-
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine then serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
You can easily boost the protein even higher in this salad by mixing in some crumbled feta cheese or shredded, cooked chicken breast.
