Steps:
- QUINOA: Start by rising 1 cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Place the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth into a sauce pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the quinoa to cook for 15-20 minutes or until all of the vegetable broth has been absorbed. Remove the quinoa from the heat, cover the pat and allow it to sit for 5 more minutes. To finish, remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
- DRESSING: While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the lemon dressing by whisking all of the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
- QUINOA SALAD: To assemble the salad, add the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and cilantro to the quinoa and pour the lemon dressing over top. Stir well to combine. If possible, chill the quinoa salad in the fridge for about 15 minutes to an hour. Right before serving, add in the cubed avocado. Enjoy!

ZESTY QUINOA SALAD
This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

QUINOA SALAD
Quinoa, a "new" ingredient that has been around for thousands of years, is a tiny, high-protein grain from South America. It's nicknamed the "wonder grain" because it cooks more quickly than rice, is virtually foolproof, and is lighter and more nutritious than other grains.

- To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
- Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
