Instructions
- Wash 1 cup of quinoa using cold running tap water and then add it to a small sized saucepan followed by 2 cups of water. Turn on the heat to medium heat and bring to the boil.
- Once at boiling point reduce the heat to simmer and add the kallo organic vegetable stock cube and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water.
- Using a measuring jug Add 700ml of water to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add the corn on the cob and cook until the corn is soft ( check the packaging for timings)
- 4 Minutes before the corn on the cob is done using a sieve wash the kidney beans and then add to the saucepan with the corn on the cob. Cook the kidney beans for 4 minutes
- Now slice the tomatoes, red pepper, red chilli, and red onion and leave to one side.
- Remove the skin and seed from the avocado and slice the flesh so that you have small slices like in the image attached and leave them to one side alongside the other sliced ingredients.
- When the corn on the cob is done remove it from the saucepan and leave it to cool down for a minute then using a knife cut down the side of the cob so that the corn is removed from the cob and leave the corn to one side.
- Once the quinoa has absorbed all the vegetable stock and looks like it has popped open, revealing the germ of the kernel turn off the heat and leave a lid on the saucepan for 10 minutes so that all the steam will keep the quinoa nice and fluffy and moist.
- Now put the quinoa into a salad bowl or oven dish and leave to cool down completely for 5 minutes and then add all the ingredients next to each other like in the image.
- Using your hands mix everything together.
- Finally cut some coriander leaves and cut a lime in half
- Add the coriander leaf to the salad bowl/dish and then sprinkle some lime juice on top and enjoy.
