Healthy Beetroot And Grain Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- pepper, to taste
- 250 g pouch microwave rice and quinoa
- 250 g pouch cooked baby beetroots
- 120 g baby spinach and rocket leaves
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Method
- Place the dressing ingredients in the salad serving bowl and mix well.
- Microwave the grains as per packet directions.
- Layer the other ingredients in the order listed. Toss just before serving to keep everything crisp.
Variation:
Mix and match the grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables to use up what you have. Some of our favourite combos:
- Roasted carrot, kale, hazelnuts and couscous
- Pan fried broccoli, cashews and barley
- Roasted cauliflower, almonds and baby spinach
- Ripe tomatoes, cos lettuce and walnuts
- Roasted eggplant, quinoa and pine nuts
Comment:
* Cooked beetroot is available in vacuum sealed pouches in the fruit and vegetable section. Canned or jarred is also great. To cook beetroot yourself, wrap in foil and bake for 30 mins at 200°C or until tender. Once cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub the skin away
Healthy tip!
Choose plain water or soda water in place of a sugary drink.
