About

This is a quinoa-rich variation of the classic Italian salad. The unmistakable flavours and smells of ripe tomatoes instantly recalls the Mediterranean climate. Good-quality sun-dried tomatoes are restored to plumpness after soaking. Complemented by fresh tomatoes, this is a perfect salad for al fresco dining on summer nights.

Ingredients

45 ml/3 tbsp pine nuts
75 g/3

Method

Dry-fry the pine nuts in a heavy frying pan, stirring all the time, for about 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Be careful the pine nuts don’t scorch. Set aside to cool.
