Quinoa Salad and Tex-Mex style wraps

Ingredients
Red quinoa
Halloumi
Sun blushed tomatoes + oil
Fresh parsley

Method
Cook the quinoa.
Cut the halloumi into slices, grill until golden, then chop into small cubes.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
Mix it all together and add some of the oil the tomatoes came in.

Thoughts
This is a very easy, delicious salad either warm or cold. Gemma and I only discovered quinoa a few months ago but fell in love with it. It is very tasty, has a nice texture, is easy to cook and is, it turns out, incredibly good for you with all the amino acids you need in one food.

Tonight, we had some left over quinoa salad. I wrapped it in tortillas and heated the wraps on a dry frying pan. They worked really well as an accompaniment to Sweetcorn Soup.
