Cook the quinoa in boiling water (the white one needs 12 mins, the red 14, the black 17). Once cooked, cool it down in iced water. Keep aside.

Maca dressing

Cook maca powder with the passion fruit juice in a heavy-based saucepan for 4 mins. Let it cool down and mix with the olive oil and lime juice. Keep aside.

Chia papers

Preheat the oven to 110°C. Mash potato and mix with quinoa flour. Spread the mixture over a silicone baking mat into a very thin layer. Sprinkle chia seeds over and bake for 28 mins. Let it cool and then break into shards. Keep aside. To assemble, mix together quinoa and half the maca dressing. Toss in the remaining ingredients and serve with chia paper shards and remaining dressing.
