1
Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Simmer the Quinoa
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

3
Prepare Cooked Beets
If using raw beets, peel and trim them, then boil or roast until tender (about 30-45 minutes). Once cooked, let them cool and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

4
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of salt to taste.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Add the chopped cooked beets on top.
6
Add Avocado Mixture
Spoon the avocado mixture over the beets.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the top, followed by 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle with olive oil for added flavor.
