This salad ticks every single box. It’s delicious, easy to make and comes together in under 20 minutes. You only need to cook the quinoa, so there are barely any dishes (especially if you eat it straight from the salad bowl as I do 😂).
But is it nutritious? Oh yes, it is! With 11 unique plants, 31g of protein, 18g of fibre and some healthy fats from the nuts and avocado, not only will it keep you feeling full and satisfied, but it will also be a feast for your microbiome. Bonus points if you want to add a little kimchi or your favourite fermented food for even more gut health benefits.
Turmeric and its active ingredient, Curcumin, is an amazing addition to any diet. It’s packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. It’s not absorbed so well on its own, but the good news is combining it with black pepper will boost its absorption. So make sure you don’t skip the added black pepper to our lovely turmeric quinoa 🙂
