Supper

RAW MARINATED WATERMELON SALAD WITH QUINOA

  • 320g fresh watermelon
  • 45g rocket or pea shoots
  • 1 carrot
  • 200g cucumber
  • 50g radish
  • 6g coriander
  • 6g dill
  • 6g mint
  • 50 cashews
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 limes
  • 2g fresh chili
  • 4g sprouts
  • pinch of black onion seeds
  • 2 tsp mirin (whole foods carries)
  • 2 tsp brown rice vinegar

Dressing:

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce

With a mandolin or potato peeler finely slice the cucumber and carrots into ribbons. Put into a bowl and marinate in mirin, brown rice vinegar, black onion seed and dill for at least 20 minutes.

Cut the watermelon into 3mm thin slices – don’t worry too much about all the seeds but try to remove the obvious ones.

Then slice the radishes, making them have a pink edge the whole way around.

In a dry frying pan toast the cashews on a low heat until they are just golden. You can crush half of them and keep half whole to add some different texture to the dish. In the mean time mix up the dressing in a jar.

Combine all the salad ingredients – then drizzle with dressing and then sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toasted cashews and coriander.

Serve with either warm or cold quinoa.
