1cupdry red quinoa I like the TruRoots brandread package for instructions on how to cook, usually 1 cup dry is 2 cups water
½cupchopped walnuts
½chopped red onion
1large tomato choppedor two small ones
1whole avocado chopped up
Dressing:
4tablespoonolive oil
Juice from 1 lime
½teaspoononion powder
Salt/Pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare you quinoa according to directions on your package, min was 1 cup dry to 2 cups water brought to a boil and si merged with a cover for 20 minutes
While quinoa is cooking, chop your walnuts, onion, tomato, and avocado and set aside
Prepare dressing by mixing olive oil, like juice, onion powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and mixing really well and set aside
Once quinoa is done, you can either plate it like pictured above or you can mix everything together in a large bowl (I generally mix everything, the separation was mainly for the pictures).
Serves 2 large serving or 4 small sides
Notes
Notes: make the quinoa in advance and can store in the fridge for up to 3 days, chop and add ingredients when ready to eat, all ingredients are ok to add in advance and store in fridge except for the avocado, that should be cut fresh when ready to eat. Great served with warm quinoa or cold from the fridge, I prefer from the fridge!
