Ingredients
  

For the salad:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 2 cups mixed green salad or lettuce
  • ½ avocado
  • 2 tablespoon hummus

For the dressing:

Instructions
 

  • Let's get started on this scrumptious dish by first preparing the quinoa. Give it a good rinse and place it in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. Add salt to taste and set it aside.

Notes

  1. Use vegetable broth or mushroom broth when cooking the quinoa for added flavor. 
  2. Squeeze lime juice over the avocado to help it stay fresh for longer. 
  3. Feel free to add more vegetables if desired.
