1/4 cup combined parsley & mint, finely chopped

chilli & lemon to taste

METHOD
1. Cook quinoa as per packet instructions
2. While quinoa is cooking, grate the carrot & zucchini (I tend to do a “large” grate)

4. When quinoa is cooked, let it cool a little then stir through carrot, zucchini, feta & herbs.
5. Stir through chilli to taste, pop honey snap peas on top
