Ingredients:
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water or low-sodium vegetable broth.
  • Bring the quinoa to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced avocado, chopped fresh spinach, diced red bell pepper, and diced yellow bell pepper.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss everything together until the ingredients are well coated.
  • Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad for added freshness.
  • Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the healthy Quinoa Avocado Salad as a light and nutritious meal or side dish.
