Instructions
 

  • Rinse quinoa in a fine colander until water runs clear. Transfer it to a medium pot with water.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until quinoa is tender and a white “tail” appears around each grain for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the spinach by removing the stems. Chop off the root end of the spring onions and continue to slice the spring onions in a circular motion.
  • Cut one ripe mango and avocado into chunks, and slice mixed bell peppers into strips.
  • In a blender, add chopped coriander, trimmed spring onions, chopped spinach, and one chili in a blender.
  • Blend it all until finely chopped.
  • In a bowl, add the chicken. Sprinkle one teaspoon of allspice and spiced paprika.
  • Fry tossed chicken with olive oil in a frying pan by turning after a few minutes until cooked.
  • Once fried, add chopped bell peppers to the frying pan as well.
  • Now in a bowl, toss spinach mixture with cooked quinoa.
  • Squeeze over the lime juice, pour the extra virgin olive oil, and add salt.
  • Mix mango chunks and cooked peppers over the quinoa.
  • Mix everything until mango chunks are well coated.
  • Cut fried chicken into slices, toss it in yogurt, and add to the salad.
  • Crumble over the feta cheese, scatter over the remaining coriander leaves, and snip over the cress.
