Title: Greek Quinoa & Avocado Salad
Categories: Grains, Fruits, Greens, Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 c Uncooked quinoa, rinsed,
- drained *
1 c Water
2 Roma tomatoes; seeded, fine
- chopped
1/2 c Shredded fresh spinach
1/3 c Fine chopped red onion
2 tb Lemon juice
2 tb Olive oil
1/2 ts Salt
- Spinach leaves
2 Ripe avocados; halved,
- seeded, peeled, sliced **
1/3 c Crumbled feta cheese

In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan combine quinoa and water. Bring
to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes
or until liquid is absorbed.

Transfer quinoa to a medium bowl. Add tomato, spinach, and
onion; stir to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together
lemon juice, oil, and salt. Add to quinoa mixture; toss to
coat.

Place spinach leaves on 4 salad plates. Arrange avocado
slices on spinach leaves. Spoon quinoa mixture over
avocado slices. Sprinkle with some of the feta. Makes 4
main-dish servings.

* Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove a
bitter substance called saponin that coats the seeds.

** Brush avocado slices with additional lemon juice to
prevent browning.
