Quinoa is not actually a grain - it’s a seed. It is a good source of Vitamin C as well as several B-Vitamins. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make, and versatile to eat.

• 1 bouillon cube, optional
• ½ avocado, cubed
• 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped

• ½ lime, juiced

Directions

1. Prepare quinoa according to package instructions (add bouillon cube to water for more flavor).  
2. Transfer to serving bowl and let cool completely.
3. Add remaining ingredients and toss until well combined.

Serves 4-6.
