Dice the red onion very fine and once the pickle juice has cooled down a bit add the diced onion and let it do its thing! Chill for future use* Mix the salad dressing and once the veggies have cooked add the quinoa straight to the tray and mix, then let it cool for 5 minutes before adding in the rocket leaves and plating up the salad. Dress with the diced radishes, pomegranate jewels, fresh dill, and pickled onions, and then generously add your dressing! Enjoy or store the leftovers without the rocket leaves, just serve em fresh with some creamy feta, hummus, or crispy croutons, or flatbread chunks!
