Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup shelled frozen edamame
  • 300g (10.5 oz) hot-smoked trout fillet*
  • 450g/ 1lb (5 cups) shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced spring onions
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup chopped dried dates

Tahini Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. Allow it to cool.
  2. In a separate pot, boil the edamame for a few minutes until tender. Drain in a colander and let cool.
  3. While the quinoa cooks, shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, slice the green onions, and chop the dates.
  4. In a small bowl or a screw-top jar, combine tahini, mustard, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, cabbage, carrots, green onions, edamame, and dates.
  6. Pour the tahini dressing over the salad and toss well to coat evenly.
  7. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Break the smoked trout into chunks with your fingers and scatter over the top. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Can swap the trout for hot-smoked salmon.*
  • Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Keep the trout separate to maintain its freshness and flavour.
