Method

  • 1.
    Mix vinegar, oil and garlic in a bowl, then season. Add fennel and onion, then set aside for 1 hour.
  • 2.
    Meanwhile, make salad. Place quinoa in a pan with Vitasoy Ricemilk – add extra milk if needed to cover. Bring to the boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until grains begin to swell and become tender and milk is almost absorbed. Drain and cool.
  • 3.
    Combine basil, garlic, juice and oil and set aside. Toast seeds and nuts in a dry frypan until golden. Toss warm seeds with dressing and quinoa. Season to taste.
  • 4.
    Preheat barbecue or chargrill pan to medium-high, cook fennel for 5-10 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove and keep warm while you cook the spring onions for 2-3 minutes.
  • 5.
    Cut the avocado into thick wedges. Divide the avocado, fennel and onion among serving plates. Top with salad and extra basil leaves.
