Steps:
- Half-fill a medium pan with water and bring to the boil. Rinse the quinoa in a fine sieve, then add to the water, stir well and simmer for 12 mins or until just tender.
- While the quinoa is cooking, put the sweetcorn in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook for 5 mins, turning every now and then, until defrosted and lightly toasted. Set aside.
- Rinse the cooked quinoa in a sieve under cold water, then press hard with a serving spoon to remove excess water.
- Tip the quinoa into a bowl and toss with the olive oil, sweetcorn, tomatoes, coriander, spring onions, lime zest and chilli. Season well with black pepper.
- Halve and stone the avocado. Scoop out the flesh with a large metal spoon, cut into slices and combine with the lime juice. Add the chicken pieces and avocado to the salad and toss gently together before serving.

QUINOA SALAD WITH CHICKEN, ALMONDS AND AVOCADO
Tricolor quinoa combines the tenderness of white quinoa with the pop of the red and black grains. All soak up a Dijon-sherry vinaigrette in this blend of chewy tangy cranberries, crunchy salty almonds, creamy avocado and refreshing parsley. This salad -tasty warm, at room temperature or cold - is a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken. It's perfectly satisfying without the chicken, too, if you're vegetarian.

- Prepare the chicken: Marinate the chicken with coriander, basil, crushed red pepper, garlic glove, black pepper and some salt for at least 30min.
- In a non-stick pan, add the chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil and cook at medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is done. Add the parsley, stir in for about a minute and turn the heat off. Let it cool off a little, before you add it to the salad.
- Salad In a salad bowl add spinach, arugula, quinoa, red peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, 2 scallions, olives and chicken. Add in olive oil, minced garlic and lemon juice, some salt and mix everything well together. Add salt and pepper to taste! Note, that for these pictures I tried to arrange things more beautifully, starting with a bed of spinach and then arranging everything on top of it carefully (FIY, in case presentation is really important to you, if not: tastes the same and you save yourself a few minutes and some curse words).
