Cook quinoa ahead of time!!!
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
pinch of salt
2 large tomatoes, diced
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 medium avocado's, diced
1/2 can black or garbanzo beans (optional)
1 small cucumber, chopped (optional)
Dressing:
1/4 cup FRESH Lime juice
1 tblsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
Using a very very fine strainer, rinse quinoa under cold water. Add quinoa, water and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for few minutes, then cover and turn heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with fork. Let cool to room temp.
In a large bowl, combine quinoa, vegetables of any kind you prefer.
In a small bowl, combine dressing and wisk together.
Pour dressing over the quinoa salad and gently stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve chilled. My husband like to eat it with chips, like its some salsa or something :-)
