Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 03:45:14 GMT

Step 1

Rinse quinoa under running water 2-3 times, until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Add rinsed quinoa to a pan, and add double the quantity of water (e.g. if cooking 1 cup quinoa, add 2 cups water).

Step 3

Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then place lid on the pan and reduce heat to low.

Step 4

Leave the quinoa to simmer until all of the water has been absorbed (about 10-12 minutes for 1 cup quinoa).

Step 5

Once water has absorbed, remove the pan from the heat and leave to sit, with the lid on, for 10 minutes. Then remove the lid and fluff up with a fork.

Step 6

Chuck all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl and toss to combine.

Step 7

Add the dressing ingredients to a jar, screw on the lid, and shake well to combine.

Step 8

Add a little extra virgin olive oil to a frying pan and heat up on medium-high heat. Throw the raw prawns into the pan and cook until prawns are pink and curled.

Step 9

Slice up the avocado.

Step 10

Dish up the salad onto plates, pour over the dressing, and serve with the prawns and avocado. Garnish with sliced almonds and coriander leaves.

Step 11

Enjoy!
