Rocket Quinoa Fetta Salad

“Can you bring a salad to the BBQ?”. This one makes the top of my list!


Serves 4 or works great as a side dish for 6-8

Big handful of rocket lettuce*
1 cup white quinoa, cooked
½ cucumber, finely diced
3 spring onions, green parts only, finley sliced*
200g feta, crumbled or finely diced
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
½ cup pecans, roughly chopped
¼ cup sunflower Sunflower seeds

2 Tbsp garlic oil
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tsp white sugar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp cumin
2 tsp white vinegar

Combine oils, lemon zest and juice, white sugar, Dijon, cumin and white vinegar in a small bowl or jar.

Combine all the ingredients, except pecans and sunflower seeds, in a large bowl. Top with pecans and sunflower seeds and serve.


* AKA Rocket lettuce = Arugula, spring onions = green onions
