The 'Vitamin Bomb' Salad

I've called this salad 'Vitamin Bomb' because that's what it represents; each and every single ingredient is a natural source of vitamins and minerals. Quinoa + loads of vegetables + healthy oils - doesn't it sound promising? I've decided to add a little bit of feta cause that's a prefect way to pimp a salad.

This comination is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great as a lunchbox option or food on the go. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 large carrot
• 1 red onion
• 2 large handfuls of greens, e.g. rocket, watercress, spinach, lamb lettuce, etc.
• 2 handfuls sunflower seeds
• 2 handfuls pumpkin seeds
• 1 handful sesame seeds
• 100 g feta, cubed (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoon flaxseed oil
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• pepper, to taste

Preparation:

1. Rinse the quinoa and cook in lightly salted water with turmeric. Let it cool aside.
2. Meanwhile, peel and slice the carrot. Stir-fry with a little bit of ghee butter. Add the finely sliced onion and fry until the veggies have softened and browned.
3. Use another pan to toast the seeds until lightly brown.
4. Dice the tomato. Wash the greens.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the oils and the lemon juice.
6. Finally, mix the quinoa with all the vegetables and seeds in a large bowl. Add the feta and pour over the oil dressing.
7. Serve and enjoy :)
