Step-by-Step Instructions for Quinoa Salad
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Dice 1 ripe avocado and 1 fresh mango into bite-sized pieces. Drain and rinse 1 can each of black beans and chickpeas. Organize ingredients in bowls for assembly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced avocado, mango, black beans, chickpeas, and feta cheese. Gently toss to mix without mashing the avocado.
- Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving.
