Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups spinach
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • ½ cup broccoli cut into small pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup edamame beans
  • ½ avocado diced
  • ¼ cup pinenuts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil extra

Instructions
 

  • Cook quinoa *
  • Prepare edamame - I buy frozen in pods and microwave for 3 mins to heat them up
  • Heat a dash of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and lightly fry off the zucchini, broccoli, garlic and lime juice. This should only take about 2-3 minutes, you still want it crunchy.
  • Place spinach in a large salad bowl. Top with zucchini & broccoli mixture, quinoa and edamame and toss.
  • Add pinenuts and avocado.
  • Season with salt and pepper and a dash of olive oil.
