Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, baby kale, black beans (rinsed and drained), roasted corn, and diced local tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and serve half an avocado on each plate alongside the salad. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
