Whilst football is suspended, we want to stay connected with our fans and help you stay active and healthy during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Food is particularly important to that, so, first team nutritionist Tom Parry has worked with Manchester City’s Official Partner Gatorade to share a series of healthy recipes for you to make at home.
In this episode, Tom provides a step by step guide for making a feta, beetroot and quinoa salad, a super simple and healthy, no fat meal.
Perfect for two as a main meal, it can be stretched out to four servings as a side salad with a big fillet of fish or a couple of chicken thighs.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 1 x 220g pouch of ready cooked quinoa
- 2 ready cooked beetroot, grated
- 100g of reduced fat feta, cut into 1cm cubes
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- 2 handfuls of mixed leaves, chopped
- 5 walnuts finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
Dressing
- Juice of half an orange
- 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Put the ingredients of the dressing into a washed-out jam jar and give a good shake.
- Prepare all the salad ingredients and put into a large bowl and combine, holding back the walnuts.
- Microwave the quinoa as per packet instructions. Pour all over the salad ingredients and mix so the leaves start to wilt. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour over the dressing and stir through. Portion up and top with the walnuts.
