Ingredients
Preparation
Rinse the quinoa (70 g) thoroughly under hot water and cook in double the amount of water for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
Meanwhile, pit the peach (1) and cut into thin wedges. Briefly toast in a small pan without oil until slightly caramelized.
Coarsely chop the pecans (20 g) and toast briefly in a pan to enhance their wonderful aroma.
For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil (15 ml) and lemon juice (10 ml) in a small bowl until a fine emulsion forms.
Wash and dry the arugula (50 g) and arrange on a plate.
Distribute the cooked quinoa (70 g) over the arugula (50 g) and top with the grilled peach wedges (1) and the pecans (20 g).
Finally, drizzle with the dressing made of olive oil (15 ml) and lemon juice (10 ml) and enjoy immediately – simply delicious!
