Notes

Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to directions on the package. 1 cup of uncooked quinoa yields 3 cups cooked quinoa.
If refrigerating this salad, you may need more salt than if served warm.
Eat immediately or within 1 day. The avocado will start to turn brown after a day. Still edible but not as pretty.
