Everything green in one bowl is not a gimmick — broccoli brings sulforaphane, peas bring plant protein, avocado brings the fats that carry the fat-soluble vitamins in all of it. The herb dressing is where the flavour lives, so make more than you think you need.
Tip: The dressing doubles as a dip and keeps two days with the lime juice in it — press cling film onto its surface to keep the green bright.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 head broccoli, in small florets
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 avocado, half sliced, half for dressing
- Large handful coriander and parsley
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Cook the quinoa. Roast or pan-char the broccoli until the edges catch.
- Blitz half the avocado with the herbs, lime, olive oil, a splash of water, salt and pepper into a pale green cream.
- Stir the peas through the hot quinoa so they defrost in its heat.
- Bowl the quinoa and peas, top with broccoli and sliced avocado.
- Drizzle the dressing generously and finish with pumpkin seeds.
