Vibrant San Francisco-inspired salad bursting with flavor and easy to make.
Ingredients:
  • 300 g quinoa
  • 1 fresh red chilli or yellow chilli
  • 100 g baby spinach
  • 4 spring onions
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1 bunch of fresh mint
  • 1 large ripe mango
  • 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 50 g feta cheese
  • 1 punnet cress
  • 2 x 200 g skinless free-range chicken breasts
  • 1 heaped teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika
  • olive oil
  • 2 mixed-colour peppers
  • 4 tablespoons fat-free yoghurt
Instructions:
  • Prepare the quinoa by placing it in a pan and covering it generously with boiling water, then putting the lid on. In a food processor, combine the chili, spinach, spring onions, coriander (save some for garnish), and mint leaves, and pulse until finely chopped. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, allspice, and paprika and flatten it to 1.5cm thickness using a rolling pin between sheets of greaseproof paper. Cook the chicken in a frying pan with olive oil until blackened and cooked through, then add sliced peppers. Cut the mango, drain the cooked quinoa, and toss it with the spinach mixture, lime juice, and olive oil. Top the quinoa with mango, sliced avocado, chicken, feta, coriander leaves, and cress. Serve with yogurt on the side.
