Instructions
  1. Rinse red quinoa well using a sieve, getting rid off all excess saponins, set aside in a saucepan, and add water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Wash your other veggies, finely dice red onion and garlic, cut cherry tomatoes in quarters and bell pepper into squares.
  3. Prepare an avocado by cutting it up into cubes, combine all ingredients into a bowl, with lemon juice and olive oil, toss and combine.
  4. Once quinoa is cooked and all water absorbed, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes prior to adding to the mix. Then add it in and sprinkle on salt, pepper and oregano to your taste.
  5. Adjust seasonings accordingly and when ready, serve and enjoy!
