Johannes grows organic quinoa in Hess, Germany and sent us a great recipe for his quinoa. This healthy salad is made with local ingredients and provides lots of important nutrients, vitamins and minerals. We love the combination of many different flavours and textures. Ingredients such as walnuts and rocket salad harmonise perfectly with the fruity aroma of the apple and the sour touch of the lemon. In addition, feta cheese and fresh herbs such as parsley and dill round off the dish to create a tasty experience.

Ingredients (serves 4):

For the salad:

– 250 g whole grain quinoa

– 100 g halved cherry tomatoes

– 2-3 handfuls of rocket

– 150 g feta cheese

– 1 apple

– 1 chopped walnuts

For the dressing:

– 5 tbsp olive oil

– Juice from one lemon

– 2 tbsp sour cream

– 2 spring onion stalks or 1 shallot

– 1 chopped parsley

– 1/2 bunch dill

– 1/2 tbsp honey and mustard

– salt, pepper

Steps:

1. Boil 250 g Mudda Natur whole grain quinoa in salted water or vegetable stock. Our quinoa is free from bitter substances, which is why washing or swelling is not necessary. After about 15 minutes, drain the quinoa and leave to cool.
2. In the meantime, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and sour cream with the fresh ingredients of spring onions, parsley, dill and honey to make a dressing and season with salt, pepper and a little mustard.
3. Next, wash the rocket salad and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Cut the apple into small pieces and chop the feta cheese and walnuts. 
4. Finally, mix all the ingredients with the dressing and the drained quinoa and season again with salt and pepper.
   
   

Enjoy!
