Greek Quinoa and Avocado salad
*I got this recipe from bhg.com


  • 1/2
    cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained*

  • 1
    cup water

  • 2
    roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped




  • 1/2
    cup shredded fresh spinach

  • 1/3
    cup finely chopped red onion (1 small)

  • 2
    tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt

  • Spinach leaves

  • 2
    ripe avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, sliced


  • 1/3
    cup crumbled feta cheese




In a 1-1/2-quart saucepan combine quinoa and water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.


Transfer quinoa to a medium bowl. Add tomato, spinach, and onion; stir to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt. Add to quinoa mixture; toss to coat.


Place spinach leaves on 4 salad plates, I used a handful of spinach leaves. Arrange avocado slices on spinach leaves. Spoon quinoa mixture over avocado slices. Sprinkle with some of the feta.


 Makes 4 main-dish servings.




This is what the quinoa looked like before it was plated.  It was so pretty in the bowl!
