Poppy cooks…

1. In a small saucepan (or rice cooker), boil
   1.5 cups white quinoa in
   3 cups hot filtered water until the quinoa is cooked, then set aside.
   
   
2. Grill
   500g chicken tenderloins with
   celtic sea salt + cracked black pepper.
   
   
3. On a serving platter or individual plates, layout
   180g baby spinach, roughly sliced topped with quinoa, chicken,
   pear, diced and
   250g "Love Beets" baby beetroot, diced.
   
   
4. Lightly whisk together
   1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and
   1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 
   pinch of celtic sea salt + crack black pepper. Drizzle dressing over the salad.

In this picture compared to the previous one I tossed the salad and omitted the chicken which I had instead served on the side with my home made herbed mayonnaise.
