2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup quinoa
2 cups of water (for cooking the quinoa)
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed

How to make it
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Coat the pumpkin wedges with honey and olive oil and roast until they are soft and golden. Set aside to cool. Bring 2 cups of cold water to the boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Pour in 1 cup of quinoa, reduce to medium heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Transfer the quinoa to a large plate to cool. Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, chilli and chopped herbs in a large serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked quinoa and remaining ingredients. Toss gently to combine.
