This dramatically coloured salad was inspired by a lunch I had in Dubai last year. It is super filling, and is the perfect accompaniment to any grilled meat especially lamb. In these photos I have added lamb steaks or grilled chicken tenderloins for some extra protien but it is perfectly delicious just on its own. It is a super easy salad - and can be made in as long as it takes to cook the quinoa. Take it to a BBQ or have it on its own as a meatfree dish. It's deliciously devouring!
