A few coriander or mint leaves to top the salad with
1 grated carrot

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice from 1 lime
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh red chilli (seeds removed)

Heat 1 tbspn of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add quinoa, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of coconut milk and bring to the boil.
Reduce to a low heat and cover, simmering for approx. 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender but still slightly crunchy.

In a jar or a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients and mix well.
Combine quinoa, cucumber, coriander, mint, carrot, some salt & pepper and mix through the dressing.

*Shredded coconut is a great addition to this recipe but if you suffer from FructMal don't add it as it seems to be problematic for most sufferers.
