I like to use fruit in my salads as well as vegetables and I find the flavour of an orange goes really well with beetroot and red onion

    For the quinoa, rinse well to get rid of the bitterness, then add to a pan with 525ml (2 & 1/4 cups) hot water or vegetable stock, bring to the boil then cover and turn down to simmer for 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed

  3. 3

    Let stand for 10 minutes then fluff the grains up with a fork. Let cool

  4. 4

    Mix the vinegar, mustard and honey together and set aside

  5. 5

    Put the cous cous / quinoa, carrots, clementines, onion, ginger and mint in a large bowl and toss together gently

  6. 6

    Pour the honey mustard dressing over, add the beetroot and toss gently again

  7. 7

    Serve with chicken, pork or fish or enjoy on it's own
