1
Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare the Salad Base
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed greens, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 cup of diced cucumber.
3
Add Avocado
Slice the medium avocado and add it to the salad mixture.
4
Combine and Serve
Once the quinoa is cooked, let it cool slightly before adding it to the salad. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
