Ingredients

Servings:

1 cup Quinoa
1 medium size Broccoli
200 gram Halloumi cheese
1 cup Boiled chickpeas
1 piece Avocado
0.5 cup Boiled peas
4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon Salt

Step-by-Step Preparation

Speed:1x

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place it in a pot. Add water until it covers the quinoa by approximately 2 fingers. Boil over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the grains are soft. Drain the cooked quinoa and set aside to cool.

Separate the broccoli into small florets and wash thoroughly. Steam in a steamer basket or in a covered pot with a small amount of water for approximately 5-7 minutes until tender but still firm.

Slice the halloumi cheese. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grill the halloumi slices for approximately 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice into cubes. Prepare the cooked chickpeas and cooked peas.

Add the cooled quinoa, steamed broccoli, grilled halloumi, diced avocado, cooked chickpeas, and cooked peas to a large salad bowl.

In a separate bowl, prepare the salad dressing by mixing extra virgin olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad.

Gently toss all the ingredients to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

To distribute the dressing of your salad more homogeneously, you can put all the dressing ingredients into a small jar, shake well, and then add to the salad.
The daily protein requirement for athletes varies according to their body weight, fitness levels, and type of sport. You can adjust your salad portions according to your own needs.
You can make your salad healthier by using natural extra virgin olive oil, which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids.

Alternative & Optional Ingredients

You can use grilled chicken or turkey pieces instead of halloumi cheese.
You can add sliced green beans instead of peas.
