Number Of Ingredients 10

100g quinoa
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice 1 lemon
½ tbsp white wine vinegar
120g can tuna, drained
1 avocado, stoned, peeled and cut into chunks
200g cherry tomatoes on the vine, halved
50g feta, crumbled
50g baby spinach
2 tbsp mixed seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Tip into a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins until the grains have swollen but still have some bite. Drain, then transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a jug, combine the oil, lemon juice and vinegar with some seasoning.
  • Once the quinoa has cooled, mix with the dressing and all the remaining ingredients and season. Divide between plates or lunchboxes.
