Preparation
- 1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prepare Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, wash and trim the asparagus. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Rinse the radishes, remove the tops and tails, and slice them thinly. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Wash the baby spinach and pat dry. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin wedges.
