Super Green Salad with Roasted Vegetables
Directions
Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the packaging
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking tray lined with baking paper.
Place the broccoli, zucchini and asparagus on the tray and drizzle with olive oil. Place into the hot oven and roast for around 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and take the asparagus off the tray. Now return the tray to the oven and continue cooking for a further 7-10 minutes, until the broccoli and zucchini are cooked through and tender.
Heat a dry skillet over a medium heat and toast the almonds for a few minutes until golden and slightly plump. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow to cool down before chopping.
Place all the dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
To serve, place the quinoa, roasted vegetables, green peas, toasted almonds, salad leaves, sliced avocado and green onions into a large bowl, drizzle over the dressing and gently toss until combined.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
Note: If storing in the refrigerator, store the salad and dressing separately and then combine just before serving. This will keep the flavors fresh and stop the salad from wilting.
