Quinoa Freekah And Herb Salad

A zesty, nutty flavour distinguishes this tasty salad from the ever abundant quinoa salad recipes floating around recently.

The mix of quinoa and freekah is unique, and pairs well with the added nuts and seeds.

A light, summery feel is injected by the herbs and dressing, while the roasted cucumber adds an unusual, but welcome, texture.
