    1 Cook quinoa according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.

    2 Meanwhile, place mince, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander and chopped mint in a bowl, mixing well to combine. Shape ¹⁄³ cup of mixture around a metal or pre-soaked wooden skewer to form a slightly flattened sausage shape. Repeat with remaining mixture and skewers to make eight koftas in total.

    3 Lightly spray a chargrill pan or hotplate with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add koftas and cook, turning, for 10 minutes or until cooked.

    4 Meanwhile, place oil, vinegar, avocado, salad leaves, radish, cucumber, quinoa and mint leaves in a bowl, tossing to combine. Divide koftas and salad among four plates and serve drizzled with tzatziki.
