QUINOA, CARROT AND LENTIL SALAD

(Serves 2)

​

This recipe was inspired by Deliciously Ella but I have adapted to make it baby friendly

​

Ingredients 

​

100g quinoa

1 tin of green lentils (drained and rinsed) 

2 carrots, peeled and grated

50g raisins (soak in boiling water)

1 teaspoon of cumin

1 teaspoon of cinnamon 

1 teaspoon of turmeric

handful of mixed seeds for serving

handful of rocket/watercress/ spinach for serving 

​

For the dressing: 

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon of tahini

1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup

juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 

​

Method

​

Cook the quinoa (As per packet instructions). Add the spices half way through cooking. 

​

Whilst cooking mix up the dressing ingredients in a little pot and leave to one side. 

​

When the lentils have finished cooking remove from the heat and stir in the carrots, raisins and then add half the dressing. Mix well. 

​

Dish up into two bowls and then add the rest of the dressing, a handful of seeds and the salad mix. 

​

I've added a little extra carrot for decoration but not essential. 

​

Enjoy xx
