Quinoa, pea & avocado salad recipe

Ingredients

  • 100g frozen peas
  • juice 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ small pack mint, leaves only, chopped
  • ½ small pack chives, snipped
  • 250g pack ready-to-eat red & white quinoa mix (we used Merchant Gourmet)
  • 1 avocado, stoned, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 75g bag pea shoots

Method

  • Put the peas in a large heatproof bowl, pour over just-boiled water, then set aside.

  • Pour the lemon juice into a small bowl and whisk in some seasoning. Keep whisking as you slowly add the olive oil, followed by the mint and chives.

  • Drain the peas and tip into a large serving dish. Stir in the quinoa, breaking up any clumps. Pour over the dressing, then fold in the avocado and pea shoots. Serve immediately.
