Serves 2

Ingredients:

250g sprouted quinoa (I use Planet Organic-red)

1 yellow courgette, thinly sliced

For the Lemon Vinaigrette:
2tbsp olive oil
1tbsp apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of ½ lemon
½tsp dried parsley
½tsp ground coriander
½tsp ground cumin

Salt & pepper

Method:

Rinse quinoa and add to 500ml boiling water in a medium sized pan. Cook for 6 minutes. Cover with lid and allow to stand for a further 10 minutes.

Once cooled, add the grated carrot.

Cut the courgette into thin round discs and pan fry in olive oil over a medium heat until golden brown.

To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a clean jar and store in fridge up to 5 days.

Transfer the quinoa and carrot mix to a salad bowl and circle with courgettes if desired.
