Pistachio and Melon Salad
Here is one of our favorite recipes for summer barbecue dinners. It goes well with grilled vegetables, tofu, bird and fish. It recently was served together with freshly grilled fish seasoned with chilli and sesame seeds and a mint yogurt. Sumac gives a nice sour taste, but can be replaced with a little extra lemon.

Mix 0.5dl of rapeseed oil with 2 tbsp squeezed lemon, 1 tbsp honey and if you want a pinch of sumac. Season with salt and pepper. Mix the dressing with the quinoa and melon on a large platter. Grate the mint over the quinoa and melon, and then sprinkle the nuts over it all.
