Quinoa, roast veg and borlotti bean salad... Lunch?

 

You can pretty much add anything to this salad, get creative!

But...here is my suggestions:

1/2 c quinoa

1 carrot

1 zucchini

1/2 red capsicum 

1 lebanese eggplant

1 can borlotti beans (you could use kidney beans or chick peas if you prefer) - drained & rinsed

250g cherry tomatoes (I used yellow ones - thats what happened to be growning in the garden at the time)

A few handfuls of rocket

balsamic vinegar

Boil quinoa in 3 cups of water until cooked (usually about 30 mins)

Meanwhile, cube carrot, zucchin, capsicum and eggplant - roast in moderatee oven for approx 30 mins

Drain quinoa when tender

Add borlotti beans, roasted veg, havled cherry tomatoes, rocket and quinoa to a large bowl - mix to combine.

Finally - drizzle with balsamic. Ta DA!
