Ingredients

  • 150g quinoa
  • 350g broccoli
  • 4 tbsp avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, or to taste
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped preserved lemon rind
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 3 spring onions, chopped
  • 25g pumpkin seeds, toasted
  • 50g dried cherries, roughly chopped
  • 1 small avocado, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
  • 1 tbsp mint, chopped

Step by step

Get ahead
The salad (minus the avocado) will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge in a lidded container. Add the avocado just before serving.
  1. Place the quinoa in a sieve and wash under cold running water, stirring for about 1 minute. Shake as dry as possible. Heat a frying pan until hot, add the quinoa and stir over a high heat until dry. Continue for 1-2 minutes until starting to crackle.
  2. Tip the toasted quinoa into a saucepan and add 400ml cold water and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer over a very low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat but leave undisturbed for a further 10 minutes. If there is any liquid remaining, drain and leave to cool.
  3. Trim the broccoli, cut it into small florets and chop the stalk into small pieces. Put in a steamer and cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes. Remove and let cool.
    Tip
    Use the rest of the preserved lemons chopped into chicken traybakes, tagines and stews
  4. In a bowl, lightly whisk the oil, lemon juice, preserved lemon, honey and some salt and pepper together.
  5. Combine the cooled quinoa, broccoli, spring onions, pumpkin seeds and cherries. Add the avocado and herbs and toss together. Add the dressing, stir well and serve.
Chef quote
The preserved lemon adds a lovely zing to this salad dish, along with the combination of dried fruits, nuts and green veg.
