A Salad of All Sorts

I have the type of fridge that tends to house leftovers. This is great when it comes to throwing together a salad.

I realise it’s not really a salad time of year but when you’re busy and need to get tasty, nutritious food into needs must.

This salad is very adaptable. This recipe is how I like to make it but feel free to sub in and out ingredients as you would like.

Ingredients

• 100g cooked quinoa (any cooked grain will work well)
