Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water

  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and avocado.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider grilling the corn before adding it to the salad.
  • This salad can be made a day in advance for the flavors to meld.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder.
