Ingredients
¾ cup (120 g) black beans
1 cup (140 g) quinoa
1 small red pepper, roasted
1 can (90 g) sardines
1 carrot, diced small
2 cups (60 g) spinach
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
VINAIGRETTE
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1.5 teaspoon grated ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1/16 teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Place the quinoa and black beans in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add 1/4 of the total amount of roasted peppers to the bowl.
- Open the can of sardines, discard the oil and mash the sardines on a chopping board by using a knife. If you are using a bigger can of sardines, save the rest in an airtight container and place it in the fridge.
- Add the mashed sardines to the rest of the ingredients.
- If you feel like having a warmish meal, you can warm up these first ingredients by simply placing the bowl in the microwave for about one minute or so until warm.
- Peel – or wash well if organic – the carrot, dice it small, and add it to the bowl.
- Measure two cups of spinach and, if desired, chop them. Place them in the bowl.
- Add the sesame seeds to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients together and store half of the quantity in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing all the ingredients in a little jar.
- Add half of the vinaigrette to the salad and save the rest in the fridge.
- Mix all the ingredients again and enjoy!
