Ingredients

Method

2.Meanwhile, roast hazelnuts in a medium frying pan over medium heat for 4 minutes or until golden. Rub hot hazelnuts in a clean tea towel to remove most of the skin; discard skin. Coarsely chop nuts.
3.Add nuts to quinoa in bowl with zucchini, tomato, onion, half the fetta and half the basil. Drizzle with combined oil and vinegar; toss gently to combine, season to taste. Serve topped with remaining fetta and basil.

You can use a mandoline or V-slicer to thinly slice the zucchini or coarsely grate it, if you like.
