Precook the quinoa according to the packet instructions or use a packet of ready-made quinoa. Chop the apple, pear and orange into small squares (smaller than bite size) and put in a bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and give it a really good stir.

Enjoy with an added dollop of plant yoghurt, a few mint leaves or a sprinkling of seasonal fruits.
