Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the packaging, then transfer to a big bowl and set aside to cool.
  • In another medium-sized pot, cook the broccoli for 6-8 minutes until tender. Towards the end of the cooking time add in the green peas. Drain the vegetables and add to the quinoa.
  • In a food processor or blender, blend together the mint, basil, 1 of the avocados and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Once blended and creamy add to the quinoa and vegetables and mix well to combine.
  • Chop up the remaining avocado and stir it through the quinoa. Add in the spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside until needed.
  • Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a dry grill pan over high heat and cook the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes each side (depending on the thickness of the steak). Once cooked remove the tuna steaks from the pan and set aside to test for 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide the green quinoa salad between 4 plates and serve with a tuna steak.
