Broccoli Salad with Mint & Lemon Dressing

Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 271kcal

Ingredients

  • 120 g quinoa 340ml water
  • 1 broccoli head
  • Circa 200g green beans topped and tailed
  • 1 heaped tbsp pinenuts
  • A couple handfuls washed rocket as much as you like really
  • 1 handful fresh mint
  • Pomegranate seeds I used circa 1.5 tbsps
  • Dressing
  • 2 tbsp lemon
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil evoo
  • Ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa on a low heat, stirring occasionally until all the water is absorbed
  • Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets then steam. You want it to loose the raw edge but still be crispy (circa 4 minutes) 
  • Wash and steam your beans, again, you want them cooked but still crispy
  • Wash and chop your mint
  • To make the dressing put all the dressing ingredients together in a screw top jar, put the lid on, and shake
  • Once the quinoa has cooked, and cooled, add the broccoli and beans and mix
  • I then like to let mine cool in the fridge for a couple of hours before dividing onto 4 bowls, mixing in the rocketed and mint, topping with the pinenuts and pomegranate and covering with the dressing
  • Enjoy!

Notes

* you can have more pomegranate seeds if you like but remember the FODMAP allowance is 1/4 cup!
Note: I use 1 tbsp dressing per portion.
