Instructions
1.
Wash the quinoa for a few minutes with tap water. Boil plenty of water in a pot and cook the quinoa for 11 minutes.
2.
Drain the water from the lentils and wash them with tap water for a few minutes. Finely chop the scallion, the garlic, the tomato and the olives. Soak the raisins in warm water for a few minutes.
3.
For the dressing: squeeze the juice of the orange and chop the mint into small pieces. Place the orange juice, mint, agave syrup, curry powder, garlic and 4 tablespoons of oil in a bowl. Beat it with a fork until well-mixed.
4.
Mix the quinoa with the lentils and the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Season it with half of the dressing and reserve the rest to garnish the dish later. Crumble the feta with your hands.
