This week I only had fatty recipes for you – the apple fritters and cookies with bacon – both not exactly healthy – even though one recipe had good apples in it ;)

To prevent my and your liver to leave the “house” screaming, I recommend to “kind of detox” a bit and eat something really healthy for a change… I know it sounds a bit strange coming from me :P

This one is easy to prepare and healthy. 2 in 1. Good, right? Not only good on a hot summer day – if you want to give your body something good, make this salad. I used three colored quinoa here, but regular one in any color will do ;) If you are not so much into apples, try pears or pineapple to make it even more fruity or add some red pepper – play a bit with the ingredients. I served the salad with mango purée which is basically puréed mango ;P So if you have a spare mango at hand, make it.

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

(2 servings)

100g quinoa
pinch of salt
1 large green apple
1 mango
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. agave syrup
2 tsp. lime juice
soy sauce
cilantro
salt, pepper

(2 Portionen)

100g Quinoa
Prise Salz
1 großer grüner Apfel
1 Mango
4 EL Pflanzenöl
2 TL Agavendicksaft
2 TL Limettensaft
Sojasoße
Koriander
Salz, Pfeffer

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

1. In a sauce pan add the quinoa, pinch of salt and 1 cup (250ml) water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is mostly gone. Pour into a sieve and let drain.

2. In a bowl mix the oil, agave syrup and lemon juice. Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. Add the quinoa when it is still a bit warm. Set aside and let the quinoa suck up the flavors for a couple minutes.

3. Chop some cilantro leaves. Remove the center of the apple and cut into small pieces. Cut along the stone of the mango to get as much pulp as possible, cut also into small pieces (if the mango is organic, you can also eat the skin). Add to the quinoa and gently mix. Fill into bowls or glasses and serve with some mango puree.

1. In einem kleinen Topf den Quinoa mit einer Prise Salz und 250ml Wasser aufkochen und dann bei geringer Hitzezufuhr für etwa 15 Minuten leicht köcheln lassen – das Wasser sollte dabei vom Quinoa fast vollständig aufgenommen worden sein. Abschütten und abtropfen lassen.

2. In einer Schüssel das Öl mit Agavendicksaft und Zitronensaft vermischen. Mit Sojasoße, Salz und Pfeffer würzen. Quinoa zugeben (ab besten wenn er noch warm ist) und vermischen – für einige Minuten stehen lassen, damit der Quinoa die Aromen aufnehmen kann.

3. Ein paar Korianderblätter kleinhacken. Apfel entkernen und in kleine Stücke schneiden. Die Mango nah am Kern einschneiden um möglichst viel Fruchtfleisch zu bekommen, ebenfalls in kleine Stücke schneiden (bei einer Bio-Mango kann man die Schale auch gut mitessen). Alles mit dem Quinoa vermischen und in Schüsseln oder Gläser füllen und mit etwas Mangopüree servieren.
