Quinoa Salad
Pine nut and Currant Dressing
Tip
This is a perfect dish to feed the whole family. Older babies who are comfortable with textures can eat the quinoa and vegetable mix. For toddlers and young children, you can serve with the dressing, rocket (if they will eat it!) and bread.
The pine nut and currant dressing has been adapted from Jude Blereau's 'Wholefood cooking for the family'.

We made this yesterday and enjoyed it very much. Very easy to make and full of heatlhy ingredients. Thanks for the recipe.
Made this at Christmas time and everyone including me loved it. My daughter took the leftovers home with her. I will be making it again tonight. YUM
Super easy, quick and delicious! We ate as a whole meal. I didn't have nuts and currants for dressing. Will definitely use that next time. Thanks
