Cold smoked albacore tuna with spicy quinoa, mixed raw veg, diced pears and toasted seed mix

This salad is quick, easy and more well-rounded than a prom queen who doubles as the Mathletes captain.

Many of the dishes I post have pre-prep elements to them. Make your quinoa ahead of time and all you have to do is add your ingredients. Cold smoked tuna is a relatively inexpensive way to add a protein alternative to this essential salad. I add pear because it keeps well if you don't use the whole thing, its mildly sweet and nice and crunchy. Also, it goes surprisingly well with the spicy chili flakes.
