Rainbow Quinoa and Rice Salad with Lime Dressing (serves 4)

I made a really fresh and zingy salad for lunch today.  Its an interesting mix of flavours and colours - I can’t help feel I was influenced by the Gay Pride festivities :)  You will need:

• About 100g each of cooked quinoa, white rice and brown rice
• a pink grapefruit, chopped
• an avocado, cubed
• handful of olives from a jar - I used black
• a shake of pumpkin seeds
• half a tin of raw chickpeas

Place the rice and quinoa in a sieve and run under the cold tap to wash off the starchy goo, and cool it down.  Drain and toss with the rest of the ingredients in a big bowl.  You can make a really good dressing with these things:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2Ts lime juice
• 1tsp dijon mustard
• 1tsp agave syrup
• a little salt and pepper
