A fresh salad made with quinoa and avocado, along with other fresh vegetables and a hint of lime flavor. This salad is perfect for a light meal any time of the day.
Bring the water to a boil and then add the quinoa. Turn the heat to low, cover the quinoa, and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Allow to set for the excess water to be absorbed. Cool completely.
Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion to the cooled quinoa; gently stir together.
Add the lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir into the quinoa just until evenly distribute.
Spread the spinach leaves out on a salad plate and top with the quinoa mixture.
Garnish with the avocado slices just before serving.
"I found this recipe when I searched for avocados. I am try to eat a little healthier and this recipe sounded like it would be a good choice, especially made with quinoa and avocados. It was really good. Loved the crunch of the quinoa and the hint of lime was a nice touch. I will be making this again soon."
