MARINATED STRAWBERRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the vinegar with 10ml [20ml]|#7DA0D7 of sweetener. Toss through the strawberries and set aside to marinate.
KEEN ON QUINOA
Place the quinoa in a pot with 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
CRISPY Chickpeas
Spread the Chickpeas on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).
PITA CHIPS
Cut open the pita pockets, seperate the sides and then cut into small triangles. Coat in oil and seasoning. When the Chickpeas have 5 minutes left, spread the pita pieces on a separate roasting tray and place in the oven for the remaining time.
NUTS & Corn
Place the walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the pan to the heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
DRESSING & LOADED SALAD
Drain and reserve the marinating liquid from the strawberries and set aside. When the quinoa is ready, toss with the salad leaves, strawberries, Chickpeas and corn. To the bowl with the reserved marinating liquid, mix through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Mix and set aside.
