Ingredients
- Start by washing and preparing your broccoli. Run the broccoli under water to remove impurities and cut into many small bunches. (The smaller they are, the nicer they will be to eat). Keep for later use.
- Fill your rice cooker with salt water and bring to a boil. Dip in the quinoa and cook for the time indicated on your package. Place your broccoli on the steamer basket 5 minutes before the quinoa finishes cooking.
- Cut your feta cheese into small cubes and chop your chives and parsley.
- In an oil-free hot frying pan, cook your pine nuts until they are brown. Set aside.
- Drain the cooked quinoa and run it under cold water to cool it. Let the broccoli cool down.
- Mix the small broccoli bunches, feta cheese, pine nuts and aromatic herbs. Sprinkle with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and mix. To add a special flavor, put a little grated nutmeg on your salad.
- Serve cold.
