Quinoa with Roasted Vegetable Salad

Instructions

Instruction :

1. In a large baking tray, place all the vegetables along with the garlic. Drizzle 1/2 Tsp olive Oil, sprinkle some Thyme and season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven of 200° C or 400 ° F for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and have caramelized.
2. While the vegetables are roasting, we can prepare the quinoa. To wash the quinoa, place it in a sieve and hold it under cold water and rinse it for a minute or so. In a small saucepan over medium high heat put the quinoa, water and salt together. Once the water starts boiling, reduce flame and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked.  Do add a little more water if required.
   Use a Fork to Fluff up the Quinoa.
3. Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the olive oil, lime juice, mustard, freshly grinded black pepper and salt.
4. In a large salad bowl add the spinach or baby kale, cooked quinoa along with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the dressing and mix well. Can be served warm or cold.
