Mandarin Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds, Freshl

Mandarin Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds, Freshly Diced Persimmon and Mint.
Made with beautiful NZ produce thanks to @5adaynz AD #supportlocal

This vitamin-infused fresh salad is ideal for a work lunch. As we know, eating an abundance of plants is super important for your health and with any change of season comes a change of local produce that is available! Mandarins & persimmons have to be some of my favourite kiwi-grown fruit 🇳🇿

Don't be afraid to mix up your usual salad prep by adding fruit or change up your morning smoothie by adding vegetables 😉

Fresh Autumn Salad Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
One fresh persimmon
Mandarin
Slivered almonds
Rocket
Mint

Vinaigrette dressing:
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt & pepper

Method:
1. Boil a pot of water, 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer with the lid on.
2. Mix the vinaigrette dressing in a small jar, shake well and refrigerate.
3. Dice the persimmon and slice the mandarin pieces in halves. In a large salad bowl, place a base of rocket.
4. Once the quinoa is cooked, stir through a dash of olive oil, chilli flakes and salt. Plate on top of the rocket.
5. Add persimmon, mandarin and almonds on top of the salad. Drizzle with the tasty homemade vinaigrette and garnish with mint.

This can be enjoyed on it's own for a packed work lunch, as the base of a wrap, with protein such as tofu, tempeh or as a side to any cosy autumn dish!

Ingredients:

Sweet & Sour Marinade:
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider

Juice of a lemon

4 frozen Bao buns (I picked mine up from @asianfoodspecialist in Kilbirnie)
1 can of @naturescharm jackfruit
1 small cucumber
Handful of coriander
Pickled red cabbage
Sesame seeds
Dried chilli

Method
1. Drain the canned jackfruit, slice/shred and place in a container with the marinade ingredients for 30 minutes +.
2. Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees and place the marinated jackfruit on a baking paper lined tray. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
3. Thinly slice cucumber, chop coriander and any other fillings.
4. When the jackfruit is nearly finished baking, heat a pan of low water on the stove and steam your Bao buns in a bamboo steamer for 10 minutes. (This is super easy to do, just line with baking paper and pop them right in).
5. Pack the ingredients into the seamed Bao. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and dried chillies.
