Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed.
  3. While the quinoa is cooking, dice the avocados and set them aside.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, cumin, and chili powder to create the dressing.
  5. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and diced avocados. Drizzle the lime dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.
  7. Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for later.
