Instructions

Who doesn’t love avocado and prawns?! We really got to like quinoa, too, when we were writing our Hairy Dieters books and now we often add some to our salads. It’s rich in protein as well as filling, and it’s a really good addition to this dish. You can buy ready-cooked quinoa which makes this salad super easy or cook some yourself.
