This delicious quinoa and beetroot salad is a wonderful healthy lunch option. You will need a food processor for this one, unless you want to chop all the ingredients really small!

Ingredients:

  • 2 beetroots, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup of quinoa – cook as per packet instructions – with 1 cup, you will have leftovers
  • 1-2 carrots – you can grate these if you want
  • 1 small green apple or pear if you prefer
  • 1-2 handfuls of fresh coriander
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • Handful of walnuts to add to the top to serve
  • 2-3 handfuls of rocket – I serve this salad on top of rocket, or spinach
  • I also add some avocado to the top as well!

How to make it:

  1. Put the top 5 ingredients into the food processor and mix/chop until you get the desired size of the ingredients
  2. Put the rocket or spinach into a salad bowl, put the food processor ingredients on top, add some quinoa – I usually do about half the cooked quinoa and I let it cool before adding it, but you don’t have too!
  3. Squeeze lemon on top. Then add the walnuts – YUMMO!

Other possible additions

  • Chickpeas (don’t food process)
  • Red onion (food process)
  • Roasted Sweet potato
  • Could serve with grilled or BBQ’d salmon or fish
  • Cucumber – I cut this
  • Yum, hopefully my kids like it too !

  • Beetroot is a highly under-rated vegetable, and this salad sound utterly delicious. I’d make it without the coriander, but I’m sure parsley and basil would be an o.k. substitute.
