Quinoa is pretty underrated. I love the shit! It can breakfast or lunch and is packed full of protein and is a good source vitamin E, folate, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. I created this bad-boy for dinner tonight as I wasn't in the mood for meat. So go forth my friends and have a crack at this tasty quiona salad!
Take about 4 button mushrooms and quarter them and throw them in a pot with with a small knob of butter and a sprinkle of tarragon (fresh or dry), and cook on a low heat on the stove. When cooked, allow to cool.

Take 1/2 a cup of quiona, and cook according the the directions. When the quinoa is cooked, rinse under cold water. Let the excess water drain off and then add it to a large bowl.
Take 1 medium sized red pepper and half a red onion and finely dice both and throw into the bowl. Dice up about 8 baby bocconcini balls and chuck them into the mix too.
Take a rather large handful or two of baby spinach leaves and chop into smaller, happy fork-sized pieces.
Drizzle over some olive oil and balsamic glaze, toss around until all ingredients are well mixed.
Enjoy!
