**By Sherzod Nurkulov** · 2026-06-21

A healthy vegan quinoa salad paired with an equally nourishing green dressing. It’s surprising how a simple salad can become high protein green salad and even more nutrient-dense. Especially with the addition of [Good Green Vitality](https://iplantbased.ae/products/nuzest-good-green-vitality-300g).

### Ingredients

#### Salad

-   1 cup quinoa
-   2 cups vegetable stock
-   1/3 cup edamame beans
-   1/3 cup green peas
-   1 avocado, diced
-   1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
-   2 spring onions, finely sliced
-   3 tbsp roasted cashews, for topping
-   Chilli flakes, to taste

#### Dressing

-   1/4 cup coriander
-   1/4 cup parsley
-   1/2 cup spinach
-   1 garlic clove
-   Juice and zest of 1 lemon
-   3 tbsp olive oil
-   1 tbsp Good Green Vitality
-   3 tbsp cashews
-   1/2 tsp salt
-   1 tbsp white wine vinegar

### Method

1.  Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place it in a small saucepan.
2.  Add the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed.
3.  Remove from heat and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool slightly.
4.  While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by adding all dressing ingredients to a blender.
5.  Blend until smooth and creamy.
6.  In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with edamame beans, peas, avocado, coriander, and spring onions.
7.  Top with roasted cashews, a sprinkle of chilli flakes, and the green dressing before serving.
