Finish to our salad each of these ingredients brings its own unique flavor texture and nutritional benefits to the table creating a symphony of tastes that’s not only pleasing to the palette but also good for the body now that we have a good understanding of our ingredients we’re ready to start
Cooking first off we’ll prepare the quinoa a superfood packed with protein and fiber now you might be wondering why rinse the quinoa well quinoa has a natural coating called saponin that can make it taste bitter a thorough rinse under cold water helps to remove that bitterness next let’s get that quinoa
Cooking for this we’ll use the water method which is pretty much like cooking rice you’ll need two cups of water for every one cup of quinoa bring the water to a boil in a saucepan then add your rinsed quinoa give it a quick stir and then reduce the heat to low letting it
Simmer now here’s the secret to perfect quinoa patience don’t rush it let it simmer gently until all the water is absorbed this usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes you’ll know it’s done when the quinoa turns translucent and you can see a little white ring which is the
Germ of the quinoa a quick tip here resist the temptation to stir the quinoa while it’s cooking it can make it mushy just let it do its thing once it’s cooked remove it from the Heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes this allows the quinoa to steam and become fluffier
Finally fluff it up with a fork and voila you have perfectly cooked quinoa it’s got a slightly nutty flavor and a delightful fluffy texture that’s going to add a whole lot of goodness to our avocado quinoa salad with our quinoa ready we can now move on to the other
Ingredients now comes the fun part assembling our salad we’ve got our cooked quinoa ready and now it’s time to bring in the stars of the show our fresh avocados and cherry tomatoes the these two ingredients are not just tasty but they also add a pop of color and a wealth of
Nutrients to our salad let’s start with the avocados we’re going to slice them open remove the pits and then scoop out the creamy flesh but we’re not done there we’re going to chop these avocados into bite-sized pieces perfect for mixing in with our quinoa next up the cherry tomatoes slice
Them in half to reveal their vibrant inner beauty these tiny bursts of sweetness will balance out the creamy avocado and the Nutty quinoa beautifully now let’s combine these with our quinoa it’s not just about throwing everything together though we want to gently mix them ensuring that every spoonful of
Salad will have a bit of avocado a bit of tomato and a generous helping of quinoa but let’s not forget about our garnish fresh basil this herb is not just for decoration its sweet peppery flavor will enhance the other ingredients in our salad making each bite a delight tear the leaves and
Sprinkle them over the salad presentation is key we eat with our eyes first and a beautiful salad is more likely to wet our appetites so take a moment to arrange the ingredients in an appealing way maybe you want the bright green avocados to stand out or maybe you

First we’re going to take 1/4 cup of olive oil why olive oil you ask well it’s a heart healthy fat that adds a smooth Rich texture to our dressing next we’re going to add 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar the flavor of red wine vinegar perfectly balances the richness of olive
Oil creating a delightful Symphony of flavors now we’re not done just yet we’re going to add 1 half lime juice and 2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and then season our dressing with a little bit of salt and pepper lastly add a bit of oregano salt enhances the overall flavor
