4 Cups cooked organic quinoa, fluffed and cooled (Be sure to rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to prevent bitterness)
1 Cup organic cucumber, peeled and diced
1 Cup organic tomato, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
¼ Cup scallions, thinly sliced
2/3 Cup fresh parsley, minced
1/3 Cup fresh mint, minced
3 T organic lime juice
½ tsp salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp ground pepper
Organic baby spinach
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, jalapeno, scallions, parsley, and mint. In a small bowl, wisk together the lime juice, salt, and pepper; pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to coat the grains and vegetables thoroughly. Taste and add more lime juice or salt as needed. Spoon quinoa/veggie mixture over a bed of spinach on individual plates; garnish individual servings with avocado.
