This meal in a bowl is full of the goodness of raw vegetables – kale, carrot and a multitude of herbs. Half an avocado is the crowning glory, the perfect vehicle for a lemony tahini dressing.

Ingredients

Tahini dressing

Method

1.Place quinoa, 750ml water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat to low-medium, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed (10-12 minutes). Stand for 5 minutes, tip into a bowl and fluff with a fork. Season generously to taste and leave to cool.
2.Combine kale, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl, season and massage kale until it wilts. Add spring onion, herbs and quinoa, and toss to combine.
3.For tahini dressing, whisk ingredients together in a bowl, then thin with 2-3 tbsp hot water to drizzling consistency and season to taste.
4.Divide kale mixture among serving bowls and scatter with feta. Dip the cut-side of each avocado half in dukkah, place on top of kale mixture and arrange carrot next to it. Drizzle with tahini dressing to taste and serve scattered with pistachio nuts and silverbeet leaves.
