Quinoa Vegetable Lettuce Wraps

1.Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve. Place in a pot with 250 ml water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and let cool.

2.Meanwhile, finely dice the carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, spring onions, avocado, and quarter the cherry tomatoes. Prepare the parsley, cilantro, and ginger.

3.In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, turmeric, ginger, pepper, and a little salt to make a dressing.

4.Add the cooled quinoa, prepared vegetables, and herbs to the bowl. Mix well so the dressing is evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5.Carefully separate the lettuce leaves, wash, and pat dry. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the quinoa vegetable mixture in the center of each leaf.

6.Sprinkle the wraps with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
