Method
- Bring the stock to the boil in a medium pan and add the quinoa. Stir well, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and leave to rest for 5 minutes, then fluff up with a fork.
- Meanwhile, put the peppers and avocado in a large bowl and gently toss in 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Heat a griddle pan and cook the peppers for 2 minutes, or until charred, turning halfway. Griddle the avocado for 1 minute, turning halfway.
- Stir the carrot through the quinoa, season well, and then gently fold through the tomatoes, avocado and charred vegetables.
- Mix the remaining olive oil with the lemon zest, juice, parsley, white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.
- Scatter the salad with the mixed seeds and drizzle with the lemon and parsley dressing.
