Healthy Feta and Quinoa Salad

This is the type of salad that you can make for supper and take the rest for an amazingly nutritious and delicious lunch-at-work.  It is one of those wholesome salads that are substantial enough for the autumn and winter months.

For this salad you will need:

1 cup quinoa, cooked
200g sweetcorn
150g cherry tomatoes, cut up
1 avocado, cut up
150g feta cheese, chopped or crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh mixed herbs, chopped
salt and pepper

For the Dressing:
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 extra olive oil
salt and pepper
a pinch of sugar or stevia

To make the dressing mix all the ingredients together.

Make the Salad:

Place the cooked quinoa, sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper into a large bowl.  Toss the salad lightly.  Add the avocado and toss again.  Just before serving, finish off with the feta cheese and cut up mixed herbs.

Add the dressing.  Give it a stir and serve.
