1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa expands to approx 1 1/2 cups when cooked.
Although technically a seed, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah, not quin-oh-a!) is commonly referred to and used as a grain.
It comes in 3 different colours – white, red or black. You can also often get a combination of all three.
It is popular due to it being gluten free and relatively quick and easy to cook.
If you are not avoiding gluten, you can replace quinoa in this recipe with barley.
To make this salad FODMAP friendly, use maple syrup in place of honey, omit the garlic, use the green tips only of the spring onions or swap out for chives and swap the cashews for another type of nut.
