Preparation
1
Cook the Quinoa

  • Boil a large pot of water for the quinoa
  • When boiling, add the vegetable stock and stir to dissolve.
  • Stir in the quinoa and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until the quinoa has doubled in size and the seed has visibly split, 12-15 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and set aside, off the heat.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Get Prepped

  • Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm cubes. 
  • Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the beans with the Mexican spice mix until fragrant, 4-5 mins. Stir through the chipotle.
  • Meanwhile, make your dressing by mixing the harissa spice mix, the juice of one whole lemon, 2 tsp oil, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar (double all for 4p) in a large bowl.

3
Assemble the Salad

  • Halve the avocado and remove the pit.
  • Cut the avocado into chunks (while still in its skin) then use a spoon to scoop the flesh into the bowl with the dressing.
  • Add the salad leaves, quinoa, beans and tomato to the bowl.
  • Crumble in half the Greek style cheese.
  • Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.

4
Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the quinoa salad between bowls.
  • Top with a crumbling of the remaining cheese.
