Quinoa Avocado Salad Recipe

4.0

1 cup quinoa (tricolor, white, red and black quinoa would all work)

2 cups water (chicken stock or vegetable broth would also work)

⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (optional)

¼ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 small clove of garlic (minced)

½ teaspoon dijon mustard

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups baby spinach (rinsed and drained)

3 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)

2 Persian cucumbers (peeled and cut into small cubes)

4 colorful baby bell peppers or 1 bell pepper (sliced thinly)

½ red onion (about ½ cups, chopped or 3 stalks of scallions)

1 ripe avocado (cut into small cubes)

½ cup feta cheese (crumbled (optional) or fresh mozzarella or crumbled queso fresco)

To cook the quinoa: Place rinsed quinoa in a saucepan with water over high heat. Cover pan, bring it to a boil, turn down the heat to low, and let it cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 12 minutes or so. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
Make the Lemon Salad Dressing: Place olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a jar. Put the lid on and give it a shake.
Assemble the salad: Place spinach, cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumbers, baby bell peppers, onion, avocado, and cheese in a large salad bowl.
Gently Toss: Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Give it a gentle toss and serve.
