Bomb Quinoa Salad

Very occasionally you will see a salad recipe on here. Nop, I’m not a salad lover! But when I really enjoy a salad, it usually ends up being posted here!

• 1 cup raw quinoa, cooked according to package instructions

• 1 sweet potato (with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper)

• 1/2 pomegranate

• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Dressing:

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 2 tbsp canola oil

• 1 tsp honey

• Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Cube the sweet potato in very small cubes. Place on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper and mix. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until golden.

3. Combine cooked quinoa, pomegranate seeds, cilantro, sweet potato. Season with lemon, oil, honey, salt and pepper. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top.

Enjoy,
