Avocado Quinoa Salad
If you’re like us, you try to soak up as much summer as you can. Weekends might begin with dawn patrol in the ocean or a trip to the farmer’s market, and often end with sunset grilling at home. Come nightfall, we’ve worked up an appetite and are craving something fresh.
Our Avocado Quinoa Salad is packed with protein-rich quinoa and bursting with ripe strawberries. Fresh avocado cubes and crunchy croutons add a heartiness that helps keep you full… at least until dessert.
