Instructions

Steam the vegetables and cook the quinoa and let them both cool in the fridge.
While you are waiting for the pumpkin and quinoa to cool down, let's prepare the vegetables. Chop the jalapenos, tomatoes, cucumber into about 2cm chunks and add to a mixing bowl.
Now add the lentils (washed & drained), feta and parsley. Once the pumpkin and quinoa are cool enough add them to the mix. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over and toss the salad, making sure everything is evenly mixed.
Pop back in the fridge and serve chilled! Enjoy :)
