How to cook Ginger Honey Quinoa Bowl

To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water about 15mins.

Reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.

Heat olive oil in pan, add ginger in it and cook for about minute on medium flame.

Add broccoli, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper and capsicum. Saute for minute on high flame. Switch off the flame.

Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the honey on top.

Add cooked veggies, iceberg, corn kernels and pomegranate. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary.

For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
