Beetroot, Quinoa and Parsley Salad

The weather is finally warm, which means a) I’m craving salads and b) we’re eating outside.

When I’m having salad as a main course, I like to ensure it contains all the elements of a balanced meal.  

As the daughter of a diabetic, I had it drummed into me that all meals needed to include protein, carbs and fresh veg. 

For this salad, carbs are provided by the beetroot, protein by the quinoa and feta, and fresh veg by the parsley and beetroot.  

We ate this with a slice of german style grain bread and lashings of butter.
