Firstly cook the quinoa with your veggie stock. Meanwhile cut the zucchini in long strips and pan fry until golden. Set aside. Add cut leek and pan fry as well. When quinoa is cooked add it to the zucchini, leek and chopped silverbeet or spinach. Mix in a bowl.

Make your dressing, easy peasy, blend all of the above ingredients until smooth. Pour over the quinoa mix and serve on a beautiful serving plate. Top with strawberries, goat feta and pumpkin seeds.
