This salad is oh so delicious! My stomach is rumbling as I sit here and type out the recipe. Literally.

It gives you a nice dose of green veggies as well as protein from the quinoa pasta. If you don't have quinoa pasta at hand, you could use another whole grain pasta and toss in some hemp seeds or another protein of choice. Heres the recipe:

Prep time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 7-10 mins

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

2 cups quinoa pasta (or whole grain pasta of choice)

4 small radishes, diced

2 handfuls of baby greens (I used a blend of chard, arugula and spinach)

For avocado sauce:

1/2 ripe medium sized avocado

Juice from 1/2 lemon

1 small clove of garlic

2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast (or you can substitute this for parmesan cheese)

1 large handful baby spinach

1/4 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup water

Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:

Bring water to the boil and cook the pasta as per the directions on the packet

While the pasta is cooking, add all ingredients for the avocado sauce into a food processor or high speed blender and blend until smooth.

Once pasta is al dente, drain and then run it under cold water in the strainer until cooled.

Mix the avocado sauce into the pasta and then toss in the radishes and baby greens. If needed, add salt and pepper to season.

Serve and enjoy!
