Quinoa and cauliflower salad with pomegranate

This is a great idea for anyone's lunch if you prepare the night before. The pomegranate adds something really special to this. Quinoa is full of protein and is low GI.
Method
To cook the quinoa place it in a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring it to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer on low for 10minutes. Remove from heat and leave for another 10 minutes then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil and red wine vinegar, keep separate in the lunchbox if possible.
Place the cooled quinoa the lunchbox and add the pine nuts, baby spinach, feta, pomegranate seeds, steamed cauliflower and season to taste.
Easy, healthy and delicious!
