Quinoa salad with avocado mayo

Ingredients:

  • 70g quinoa

  • 75g avocado , halved and stoned

  • 1 small garlic clove , finely grated

  • ½ tsp mustard powder

  • 1 lemon , juiced and half zested

  • 198g can sweetcorn , drained

  • 160g cherry tomatoes , halved

  • 2 x 5cm chunks cucumber , diced

  • 2 spring onions , finely sliced

  • 2 tbsp chopped mint

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

  • 100g cooked chicken (optional)

Preparation:

  • Put the quinoa in a pan of boiling water and simmer for about 18 mins until the grains burst. Tip into a sieve and rinse under cold water.

  • Meanwhile, scoop the avocado into a bowl and add the garlic, mustard and 2 tbsp lemon juice, then blitz with a hand blender or in a food processor until smooth. Add 1-2 tbsp cold water if it's too thick.

  • Stir the lemon zest into the quinoa, along with the corn, salad vegetables, mint and pumpkin seeds, then flavour with a little more lemon juice. Tip onto plates or into containers. Top with the chicken, if using, and spoon over the avocado mayo.
