Quinoa Asparagus Salad

By KimberlyB

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry quinoa
• 1 large haas avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 3/4 cup cooked asparagus
• 2-3 cups mixed greens
• 1/4 cup Bragg Ginger and Sesame salad dressing
• Pink Himalayan salt, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the quinoa according to package directions, being sure to thoroughly rinse the quinoa prior to cooking.

Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes and segment the cooked asparagus into ½ to 1 inch slices. Next, peel and dice the avocado and give the mixed greens a rough chop. Set all of the veggies aside.

When quinoa has finished cooking, transport it to a large bowl, then add the mixed greens and asparagus. Toss lightly with a fork. Next, add the cherry tomatoes, Bragg Ginger and Sesame salad dressing, and Pink Himalayan salt to the quinoa, and toss a second time.. Lastly, because they are soft and fragile, carefully toss in the haas avocado, being sure that it is well dispersed throughout the salad.

Enjoy immediately as a main dish or as a side dish to the protein of your choice, or refrigerate and enjoy a healthy blend of flavors at your convenience.
