A tasty combination of quinoa, avocado, cumin, and lime juice with fresh veggies for a delicious meal! Ingredients:
1/3 cup red quinoa |
2/3 cup water |
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup diced cucumber |
1/4 cup diced red onion |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seed |
salt and pepper to taste |
2 cups baby spinach leaves |
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced |
Directions:
1. Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Spread into a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until cold.
2. Once the quinoa has chilled, gently stir in the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Season with lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Divide the spinach leaves onto salad plates, and top with the quinoa salad. Garnish with the avocado slices to serve.
