Satisfying warm quinoa salad with little cubes of beetroot and purple sweet potato, beet leaves and Fig & Mint Tapenade

As well as sea salt, freshly ground pepper and plenty of olive oil, we also added a big spoonful of our Fig & Mint Chunky Tapenade, plus a few small leaves from the beetroot, which are packed full of nutrients, in particular vit K (though the vit K, as well as oxalates, make them a possible issue if you take blood thinners, or have kidney problems, so seek professional advice if so).⁠⁠

 Young beet leaves or similar (chard/greens)
  Olive Oil
 Olive Branch Fig & Mint Chunky Tapenade
1

Rinse the quinoa well, drain and add the cubed beetroot, salt and pepper. Cook the required amount for the amount of people, covering with water as packet / online instructions (different quinoa can soak up more or less water).

2

Add the sweet potato halfway through as it needs half the cooking.

3

Once cooked serve, adding the young beet leaves if you have them (or you can steam larger leaves on top of the quinoa 5 minutes before the end of cooking).
Drizzle with a little extra virgin, and add a good spoonful of tapenade.
