- Can I toast the seeds together?
- Yes, sunflower and pumpkin seeds are similar in size, so their roasting time is nearly the same.
- How long does the cooked beetroot keep?
- It keeps in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days, so it's worth prepping ahead.

Instructions
1
✓
Cook the quinoa in salted water, then allow to cool. Toast the seeds in a dry frying pan until fragrant.
Tip: Shake the pan continuously, as seeds can burn suddenly!
2
✓
Slice the cooked beetroot and avocado. Wash the rocket.
Tip: Thinly sliced beetroot looks more elegant.
3
✓
Mix the dressing: oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Tip: Taste it; it should be quite sharp to balance the sweet beetroot.
4
✓
Arrange the quinoa, rocket, and vegetables in a bowl. Drizzle with the dressing.
Tip: Place the rocket at the bottom so the warmth of the quinoa wilts it slightly without making it soggy.

✓
Sprinkle with the toasted seeds and parsley.
