Tip

Seasonal fruit

You can use canned fruit instead of fresh if you're making this salad out of season. 

Method

  1. Put the quinoa in a medium saucepan and cover with 300ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins or until the quinoa is tender. Drain off any excess liquid and set aside to cool.

  2. Add the fruit, hazelnuts, herbs and seasoning to the cooled quinoa.

  3. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice. Pour over the salad and mix thoroughly.
