Serves
2<\/p>\n

Cooking time
15 mins<\/p>\n

Ingredients
50g Quinoa
1 medium carrot
1 small, Red onion
1 can, Tinned Tuna In Spring Water
1 Avocado, Hass Avocado – Small
50 g Tenderstem Broccoli
1 clove
1 tsp, Olive Oil
1tsp light soy sauce
1tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp, Salt
1 gram, chilli flakes<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>
First prepare the quinoa, add to a small pan with 125ml of cold water.\u00a0 Bring up to the boil on a medium heat, stir, reduce to a low heat and cover.<\/p>\n

The quinoa will take about 10 mins so plenty of time to prepare everything else.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finely chop the garlic, red onion and carrot and add to a bowl.\u00a0 Trim the broccoli and prepare the avocado into chunks.\u00a0 If your not sure how it’s explained here<\/a><\/p>\n

When the quinoa is ready drain off any residule water and mix in the bowl with the orher ingredients.\u00a0 This will soften the garlic, carrot and onion.<\/p>\n

Wipe the pan and fill with enough boiling water to cover the broccoli.\u00a0 Cook for a few minutes on a high heat, I like a bit of bite in veg but it’s a personal preference.<\/p>\n

Making the dressing by combining the olive oil, vinegar, soy and chilli.<\/p>\n

Drain the broccoli and add to the bowl with the avocado.\u00a0 Mix through with the tuna and the dressing and your quinoa with tuna, avocado and broccoli lunch is ready.<\/p>\n

Add coriander as an optional extra and serve.<\/p>\n
