Here's a new salad I made for a recent party and it was a big hit. It's gluten-free, vegetarian, and the leftovers are great (if there are any).
2 cups dried quinoa, cooked per package directions
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut into quarters
1/3 cup scallions, diced
1/4 cup of cilantro, minced
Juice of 2-3 limes, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
3 avocados, cut into bite-sized cubes
Cook and cool the quinoa, and fluff it with a fork. Mix in the olive oil, salt, cilantro, and lime juice.
Toss in the scallions and tomatoes and let it sit for a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
Right before serving, cut the avocado and toss it into the salad gently, so as to keep the pieces mostly in tact, but if some "mushes" into the quinoa, that's great too.
Enjoy!
