Rinse uncooked quinoa in cold water 2-3 times, drain. Then add the quinoa and the stock to a saucepan, bring to the boil and cook according to packet instructions. Drain and allow to cool. Meanwhile, roast the vegetables in the oven, or char gently until softened on a griddle pan. Chop up spring onion, kale, tomato and avocado and stir through quinoa, along with roasted vegetables. Heat up a small pan and lightly toast pepitas and pine nuts. Serve on top of quinoa salad, and top with dressing and feta cheese.
*Store in the fridge and use as a quick mid-week lunch, with steamed chicken, a tin of tuna, or boiled eggs.
