Leftover Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Salad
This is a really simple lunch, but it hits the spot every time. I make this usually when we’ve had the roasted vegetable quinoa salad with salmon earlier in the week for dinner. That way this dish is so fast to make as the main component of the meal is already made and just needs heating up. All you then have to do is make your eggs to your preference, poached, fried or boiled, place over the top of the salad and finally sprinkle with some fresh parsley.
Reheating the vegetables is easy, just add the desired quantity into a pan and gently heat up. I find I don’t need to add any extra oil as they already have a coating from their original cook. Once they are ready I place on a plate and then fry my eggs in the same pan. Here is the recipe however if you are making from scratch. Note you can use whichever vegetables you have in the house but this is one of my favourite combinations.
