A really simple quinoa salad that's quick to make and ready in 15 minutes. It's delicious on its own or served as a side dish.

Makes 2 generous servings

Ingredients

100g Quinoa (rinsed)
250ml water
1 Avocado
A handful of green olives
A bunch of coriander
2 tablespoons or olive oil
1/2 Lime

Method

Put the quinoa in a pan with the water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to let it simmer for 15 minutes. When it's cooked cover with a cloth and leave to stand.
Meanwhile chop up the avocado, olives and coriander.
Fluff up the quinoa with a fork and stir in the avocado, olives and coriander.
Drizzle over the oil and a squeeze of lime and season with salt and pepper.

This recipe combines malted wheat and rye flour to create a rich sticky ginger cake, reminiscent of Jamaican Gingerbread or Yorkshire Parkin. Rye flour is usually associated with heavy dense bread, but this gingerbread is surprisingly light and delicate, while still being comforting.
