For the salad all you need is cooked quinoa (I usually follow the package directions and replace water for chicken broth) and whatever veggies and/or fruits you have available. The combination for the batch in the picture was grape tomatoes, mango, purple cabbage, purple onions and corn. I wish I’ve added avocados. It would’ve made this already good salad even better.
Here are the steps for the Cilantro lime dressing:
Dice or pure in the blender:
- 1/2 cup cilantro (go up to 1 cup if you really love cilantro)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
- 1 tbsp agave syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cumin
