Prawn and Quinoa Salad; Serves 1 - 7 ProPoints

Ingredients 

50g Quinoa, soaked and rinsed
2 slices of Lemon
100ml boiling water
1 tsp Chicken Bovril
1 carrot, grated
1 spring onion, sliced
3 cherry tomatoes
8 Prawns, cooked and cooled
25g of Alphonso Mango Salad Dressing with Chilli & Lime

Method

1. Soak and rinse the Quinoa really well. If you skip this step it can taste bitter. Add to the boiling water, chicken bovril and slices of lemon and cook until the liquid is absorbed.  Drain, remove the lemon slices and cool 
2. Add the cooled quinoa, prawns, salad ingredients and dressing to a bowl and toss.  If you are making up a Mason Jar Salad, add the dressing to the bottom of the jar, followed by the carrots, scallions, tomatoes, prawns and then quinoa.  Shake it all up before serving! 

Note:

Quinoa can come in pre-rinsed packets.  I would still give it a good rinse just to be sure that the coating has been washed off because if it is not correctly rinsed it can be very bitter! It's always good to cook it in some kind of stock or broth just for added flavour! 

The dressing I mention is one of the Specially Selected Aldi brand dressings which is 1 ProPoint for 25g of dressing and it looks like this:
