This quinoa avocado salad is flavored with cumin and lime juice for a delicious, veggie-packed meal.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup red quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin seed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and sliced
Directions
Step 1
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Spread into a medium bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Stir tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into cooled quinoa in the bowl. Season with lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
Step 3
Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top with quinoa salad. Garnish with avocado to serve.
Tips
Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove the bitter coating.
