US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 medium-sized carrot or 2 small-sized carrots
  • 10 pcs cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 broccoli
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Blanch the broccoli, put it in salted water, boil it for 3-4 minutes, then drain it and pour cold water. This process will ensure that the broccoli gets a beautiful green color, is slightly al dente, and does not lose its nutritional value during standard cooking.
  • The quinoa is cooked according to the recipe on the packaging, either in water with salt, broth, or vegetable stock.
  • Diced avocado.
  • Peel carrots and cut them into stripes.
  • Slices of cherry tomatoes in the middle.
  • Finely chop the parsley.
  • I put everything in a salad bowl.
  • I make olive oil, lemon, and balsamic vinegar dressing and pour it over the salad. I mix everything well and season with salt and pepper.
    Bon Appetit!
