These past few weeks, I can proudly say I havent yet fully conformed to student stereotypes - aka living off pasta and beans on toast (ok, I have had meals along the sorts but oh well). Back home, I never really ate salad. It just wasnt a thing that we ever bought, plus I find that it just didnt fill me up for long.
But, two of my flatmates often have a bit of salad and you know that thing that happens when you get kind of envious of someone who is eating something you dont have, even if you arent the biggest lover of it, it just seems like an appetising thing to have at that moment in time?
Well, when the guys at Florette Salad got in touch and asked for me to share a salad recipe, it was the perfect opportunity to get creative and beat the boringness of a stereotypical salad!
Sweet potato is just a fave of mine, so of course I had to include it into this dish somehow! But the main part of this dish is the spicy quinoa salad mix using Florettes salad mix. It may look like its hard to make, but the hardest thing about it is pronouncing quinoa without sounding quite odd. Its super simple, just cook, add spices, chop and mix! Plus, it can be eaten cold the next day for lunch too.
If you are interested in some more salad recipes, Florette have some delicious looking ones over on their website. The vegetable ribbon salad with baby kale and wild rice sounds amazing!
