  • Prep Time: 15m
  • Cook Time: 15m
  • Total Time: 30m
  • Serves: 4 -6 people
  • Yield: 8 portions
  • Category: all recipes, dinner, lunch, Plantbased, salad, Starter/Appetizer, Vegan, Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 200 grams raw quinoa
  • 1 medium-sized broccoli (about 500g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 bunch kale (about 8-10 20cm long leaves)
  • 3 -4 sprigs spring onions
  • 1 small handful roasted almonds, de-shelled (1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
  • 1 small pomegranate

Lemon Mustard Dressing

  • 1 -2 organic lemons
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Estragon or Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200° C. Prepare a baking sheet with (reusable) baking paper and set aside.
  2. Place the raw quinoa in a small-meshed sieve and rinse under running water. Place in a small-medium pot and cover with 500ml (2 cups) water. Bring to a boil and let cook uncovered for 10mins. Take off the heat, cover with a lid and let sit for another 5mins. Stir through with a fork.
  3. Meanwhile, divide the broccoli into bite-sized pieces (cut bigger ones into halves or quarters). Place on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Roast for 12mins at 200°C.
  4. Wash kale and remove hard stems. Tear into bite-sized pieces and massage one hand after the other until the leaves turn into a medium-dark green and feel soft. Place in a medium-sized salad bowl.
  5. Cut spring onions into rounds and chop almonds and chives (if using). Remove the pomegranate kernels from the pomegranate. Place in the salad bowl.
  6. Zest 1 lemon and place zest in the lemon bowl. Squeeze lemons and place juice in a small glass jar. Add the same amount olive oil and the remaining dressing ingredients and shake well.
  7. Add quinoa and broccoli in the salad bowl. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well using your hands.
  8. Enjoy luke-warm or place in the fridge until using. Salad will keep well for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

It’s almost weekend and I couldn’t think of anything better than to leave you with than my vegan chocolate frosting 😋 I put this on sheet cakes or brownies, use it as a layer in my ultimate chocolate birthday cake or as the base for my vegan truffles. Can you guess the secret ingredient? 🤫

TOAST 3-ways ///
...Scroll down for 🇦🇹🇩🇪
If you’ve looked at my grid recently you know that I seem to have an ongoing prescription to strawberries & that’s right 💪 Every week my fav organic farmer hands me a basket of these delicious beauties. But I don’t only put them into sweets! I also love adding them to my salads, Buddha bowls or my hummus or avocado toast 😋 and this, my friends, is my perfect breakfast toast trio 🥳
...
3-Sorten TOAST ///
Falls du in letzter Zeit mal auf meinem Grid vorbei geschaut hast ist die vielleicht aufgefallen, dass es so aussieht als hätte ich ein Erdbeer Abo & genauso ist es auch ☺️ jede Woche gibt mir mein Lieblingsbauer eine Box mit den süßesten Bio Erdbeeren 🍓 Aber die landen bei mir nicht nur in Süßem! Ich geb sie auch extrem gern in Salate oder Buddha Bowls oder, wie hier, auf meinen Hummus oder Avocado Toast 😋

My love for strawberries continues & I hope you’re not sick of seeing them yet 😅 This time I serve them with a crunchy pavlova & a yogurt-whipped-cream & some of this year’s first homemade strawberry jam. And let’s not forget that extra drizzle of maple sirup 😋 Can you tell that I missed sugar these past weeks 😂

STRAWBERRY SEASON /// (🇩🇪🇦🇹 below) Nat STRAWBERRY SEASON ///
(🇩🇪🇦🇹 below)
Nature‘s red jewels are back in season 🥰 and as you might have already seen, I‘m in complete strawberry sweets mode (yes, talking ‚bout you Strawberry White Chocolate Swiss Roll 😋). But actually my favorite way to eat them is straight from the garden, or the farmer‘s market in this case. But did you know that strawberries continuously make it to the top of the #dirtydozen list - a survey of the 12 most-pesticide-loaded fruit & veggies - that’s why strawberries are something I always make sure to buy organic 🍓 better for you & Mother Nature 💪

...
ERDBEER ZEIT ///
Gibt es etwas besseres als Erdbeerzeit 🥰 wie du vielleicht schon gesehen hast bin ich voll im Erdbeerfieber (hallo, Erdbeer Weiße Schoko Roulade 😋) Tatsächlich was ich die kleinen roten Geschmacksbomben aber am liebsten direkt aus dem Garten, oder vom Gemüsemarkt, so wie in diesem Fall. Aber wusstest du, dass Erdbeeren Jahr-für-Jahr die Spitze der “Dirty-Dozen” Liste anführen? Eine Liste die uns anzeigt welches Obst & Gemüse am stärksten Pestizid belastet ist? Deshalb, im Fall von Erdbeeren am liebsten Bio 🍓 besser für dich & die Umwelt 💪
