Salad with quinoa step by step

Cooking quinoa in salad It is a healthy alternative to the salads that we usually prepare. Quinoa is an ingredient high in calories but also in proteins, which makes this salad recipe ideal for a balanced diet.It is important that it be a firm tomato so that it does not lose its consistency and does not fill the liquid salad. These tomatoes are the opposite of those used to make tomato soup.

Now let's go with the avocado. It must be ripe so that the meat is soft, but firm enough to turn it into cubes. The avocado is chopped in half. The sharp part of the knife fits into the seed to remove it. In each half, perpendicular cuts are made, such as a grid or grid. Then, with the passage of a spoon flush with the skin of the avocado, the cubes will come out alone. In this link you can see more details on how to cut the avocado.

Once cooked the quinoa and the broccoli, we are going to do the following thing: we drain the first one and we cut in pieces the superior branches.

In the case of quinoa, you have to strain it.

Now pour it into a salad bowl, with the pieces of broccoli, tomato, avocado and corn kernels.

Mix all the ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste, add a splash of olive oil and another of balsamic vinegar.

We mix everything again and try, in case you need to correct the dressings.

And now. Our quinoa salad is ready.
