Instructions
1 Rinse quinoa thoroughly in cold water (this is required to avoid any bitter taste). 2 Bring ⅔ cup water and quinoa to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to bowl. 3 In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and mix. 4 Toss quinoa, veggies and sauce in a large bowl. 5 Top with sliced avocado or guac and serve warm or cold.View original recipe
