KEEN ON SOME QUINOA?
Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes. Season to taste.
WHERE’S WALLY?
Place the walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop.
ROLL IT IN DILL-ICIOUSNESS
In a bowl, place the Dijon mustard, the golden syrup, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, and 20ml of olive oil. Mix until fully combined. Place ¾ of the chopped dill on a chopping board, and spread out in a single layer. Place the goat’s cheese on the dill and gently roll until fully coated. On completion, slice into rounds.
ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER
Slice ½ the apple into thin wedges and place in a salad bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, rinsed green leaves, rinsed spinach, sliced celery, and the golden syrup & mustard dressing (to taste). Toss until fully combined.

Plate up a heaping helping of the beautiful salad. Garnish with the herb crusted goat's cheese rounds, the toasted walnuts, the dried cranberries and the remaining dill. Serve with a lemon wedge. Yum!
