Nutty quinoa salad

Ever have a craving for peanut butter and also want to be able to kid yourself your being healthy (ie. not just eating the peanut butter straight from the jar with a spoon.....yeah don't pretend you've never done it!!)

Anyway...here's a pretty scrummy salad with peanut sauce and cashews, vaguely inspired by Thai food which is one of my favourite cuisines :)

Ingredients:

50g quinoa

One small carrot

A handful each of broad beans, and chopped tomatoes, cucumber and celery

A slice of red cabbage, chopped

One tbsp of peanut butter

A squeeze of honey

One tbsp of lemon juice

Aha ful of cashew nuts

Recipe:

1. Rinse the quinoa in cold water then boil for 15-20mins

2. Mix the peanut butter and honey and microwave for 10 seconds, then mix in the lemon juice and season to taste

3. Chop the salad vegetables and place in a bowl with the cashew nuts

4. Once cooked, drain the quinoa and add to the bowl - mix thoroughly 

5. Plate up a portion of salad and top with the peanutty sauce. Enjoy!
