Step:
If using cous cous, simply add hot water or vegetable stock as indicated on the packet instructions to cook. It'll be ready in 10 minutes, much quicker than quinoa which needs to simmer
For the quinoa, rinse well to get rid of the bitterness, then add to a pan with 525ml (2 & 1/4 cups) hot water or vegetable stock, bring to the boil then cover and turn down to simmer for 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed
Let stand for 10 minutes then fluff the grains up with a fork. Let cool
Mix the vinegar, mustard and honey together and set aside
Put the cous cous / quinoa, carrots, clementines, onion, ginger and mint in a large bowl and toss together gently
Pour the honey mustard dressing over, add the beetroot and toss gently again
Serve with chicken, pork or fish or enjoy on it's own
