This is a quinoa salad. The reason this was the most challenging was because everything had to be diced which includes the knife skills. I had to make sure which ever vegetables I was cutting they were the same size so the presentation would be nicer. I tried to decorate it the best I could by putting the veggies on the side with the quinoa in the middle and the seeds on top of the quinoa .In my quinoa salad, I had diced cucumber, sliced carrots and peppers, quinoa, some arugula, spinach, chick peas, cashews, pumpkin and chia seeds. Finally to finish off there was a little bit of salad dressing to put on top.

I’ve never had quinoa before that day. I wasn’t to sure of what to expect. the texture of the quinoa was kind of like rice and small seeds combined together. When I tried the quinoa it was fluffy and small. I’ve never had anything like that before. The salad dressing on the top was giving the whole salad an extra flavour. The salad dressing was a bit sour and had a miso taste to it. I felt like once you take a whole bite of the vegetables and the quinoa all together it tastes better!
