Quinoa salad with roast vegetables

This salad is so delicious and easy to make as I was eating it for dinner all I could think of was how it would taste the next day cold for lunch.

Heat the oven to 200 Celsius. Put all your chopped up vegies in there with the garlic cloves and a little oil , salt and pepper and roast for 30-40 minutes until they are soft. Once they are soft enough take out the tray and drizzle with white wine vinegar. Make sure you do this while the vegies are still hot so they absorb the vinegar.

Meanwhile cook the quinoa according to packet instructions (3 cups of water to 1 cup of quinoa) and allow to cool.

Once the vegies are cool enough to handle put them on a huge chopping board with herbs and chop up with a big knife. Don't worry about getting it into uniform pieces. It kind of looks like a big mess but it is meant to. Once you have done this mix with the quinoa, season with salt and pepper and lemon juice. That's all!
