A couple of weeks ago me and T went to Skipton for the day and on the way we stopped in for lunch at a vintage inn. I have had mixed experiences of this chain in the past but I do know that they are usually okay on the gluten free front!
Anyways I am rambling....Cutting to the chase they have mixed up their menu a bit and since it was a hot day I decided to order something light. I opted for the quinoa and rice salad full of soya beans, seeds and roasted beetroot and then I opted for a salmon fillet to go on top.
It was so nice that I have been obsessed with creating various different versions over the last few days of heatwave!
For the base of my salad I tend to stick with a mix of rice and quinoa, boiled with a veg stock cube or gluten free cous-cous, which I add pesto to when it is cooked and drained.
Then you can go to town and add all sorted of amazing ingredients. So far I have included:
Roasted Sweet Potato, Grilled sweet corn, soya/edame beans, garden peas, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts, Hallumie cheese, lemon rind and juice, lentil and seed sprouts, chorizo or salmon and fresh chillies and garlic.
I usually serve mine with some lettuce and rocket with a splash of olive oil and lemon dressing and some plain poppadoms (make them yourself in the microwave for a non-greasy but super crunchy texture|)
Let me know if you give this recipe a go and what other things you add to it!
Thank you for reading :)
