Preparation
Step 1
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Add Qunioa, stir and boil gently until tender and the germ ring is visible, about 12 minutes. Drain in a fine mesh strainer, cover with a clean dishcloth and let sit 5 minutes. Transfer Quinoa to a bowl, add the next 10 ingredients and gently stir. Quinoa can be prepared to this point and stored tightly sealed in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just prior to serving, combine avocado and lemon juice in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and add to salad, tossing gently until combined
Hints: Mirin is sweet Japanese cooking wine. Substitute rice vinegar, white wine or white grape juice plus a pinch of sugar to sweeten.
