olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

citrus juicer
knife
cutting board

Preparation:

Start by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions in a saucepan with water. While the quinoa is cooking, drain and rinse the canned jackfruit and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the orange into segments, chop the walnuts, thinly slice the red chili, crumble the feta cheese, and dice the avocado.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, jackfruit, orange segments, walnuts, red chili, feta cheese, avocado, and a handful of fresh cilantro leaves. Squeeze the lime over the mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Tips:

For extra flavor, try roasting the walnuts in a dry skillet before adding them to the salad. This will enhance their nuttiness and add a crunchy texture to the dish.
