Asparagus, Quinoa and Pomegranate Salad
Cooking Time: 40mins
Number of Serves: 6
Instructions:
Ingredients:
2 cups of quinoa (QUINOA)
200 grams of feta cheese (FETA)
½ cup of sliced almonds (ALMRS)
2 bunches of asparagus
1 large bunch of parsley chopped finely
1 fresh pomegranate with seeds removed
Dressing
1/3 cup of pomegranate molasses (MOLAP)
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (OLIOE)
4 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon of salt (SALTI1)
Freshly ground black pepper
Step by Step:
Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh sieve. Place in a saucepan over a high heat with 3 cups of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender.
Remove from the heat and place 2 paper towels in-between the lid and pot (this helps to absorb any excess water) and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile mix together all of your dressing ingredients.
To prepare asparagus rinse it well and then holding the woody base use a sharp peeler to create ribbons using as much of the asparagus as you can.
To assemble place a couple of spoonful’s of dressing on the asparagus, mix well.
Combine the rest of the ingredients with the remaining dressing and place on your serving bowl, or plate.
Add the asparagus on top and grind some black pepper on top. Serve immediately.
