Інгредієнти

1 cup white quinoa (uncooked)

2 medium avocados

1 pint grape/cherry tomatoes (about 8-10 oz.)

3 green onions (or finely diced red onion)

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1-2 cloves garlic

1/8 tsp. salt

Напрямки

Rinse and cook quinoa according to package directions.* (I use a ratio of 1 cup quinoa to 1 1/2 cups water for fluffier quinoa.)

Meanwhile, roughly chop the spinach. Place it in a large mixing bowl.

Mince garlic and add to spinach.

Halve or quarter the tomatoes, slice green onions, and dice avocado.

When quinoa is done cooking, immediately add it to the large bowl with spinach and garlic. Toss well to combine, then let it sit for a couple minutes. (This allows the heat from the quinoa to lightly wilt the spinach and mellow the garlic.)

Then add the tomatoes, green onions, red wine vinegar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Add the avocado and lightly toss. Taste and add more vinegar or salt if desired. Serve this salad right away while it's still warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
