Pink Salmon Quinoa "Couscous" Salad - Gluten & Dairy Free

We all know that Quinoa isn't cheap, so I've used cheap ingredients for the rest. This recipe is something that takes no time and is healthy. Serves one.


First rinse the saponins from the 1/3rd quinoa in a sieve.

Grab 1/3rd cup quinoa and about 1 cup of water in a bowl.
Put it in the microwave for 12 minutes.

Then put half a can of coles brand 415g pink salmon and drizzle on some fresh or bottle lemon juice (on the fish)
About 5 or 6 semi dried tomatoes. The brand I used was Sandhurst. Affordable yet also tasty, I keep the oil for other dishes as it imparts a richer flavour.
We grow green onion (chives) and parsely and basil in the yard so I also roughly chopped up as much as I like to taste (I like a lot, all together it was a decent handful.)
Mix and fluff with a fork.

Eat.

(keeping the ingredients so raw helps you absorb as many nutrients from this dish as you can!)

If the herbs aren't fresh, simple soak them in a few tablespoons of water while the quinoa is cooking. This will rehydrate them brining up a brighter colour and less spikey meal.

Quinoa is an almost complete protein. It's really healthy and balanced for you, and not bitter at all if you do the pre rinse!!!

So tasty, quick and healthy! Omega from the fish as long as many other benefits from the fish, like sulfur, which is great for skin, nails and hair growth.

You may sprinkle some of your favourite seeds if you wish.
