Quinoa salad with melon and pomegranate

The hot summer weather brought inspiration to my kitchen and I wanted a fresh salad with summery flavours. Top it with salty halloumi to restore the salt balance after a hot day in the sun. 2-3 servings 60 grams quinoa  (1 1/2 portions) 1 red pepper 3/4 Cantalope melon 1/2 Pomegranate Parsley Lemon Olive oil Halloumi Greek yoghurt  Prepare the quinoa as per instructions on the packaging and let it cool down. Squeeze 1 table spoon of lemon over 1 teaspoon of dried parsley to soak while preparing the rest of the salad. Cut the vegetables for the salad and mix together with the quinoa, pour the lemon and parsley over and add a splash of olive oil.  Cut the halloumi in thick slices and fry on low heat. Serve the salad with a dollop of Greek Yoghurt on the side!

New beginnings

New blog, new ideas and new projects. I have loads of ideas just waiting to come out and I thought this blog would be one of the places to let them out. I have no idea where this adventure is going to lead, but it will include knitting, crochet, embroidery, cooking and travelling. Curious? Me too! Watch this space to find out where this will take us!
