Power Salad!

We made this salad the other night and it was so good and healthy! We ate it on its own, but I was thinking it could also be really good if you put some in a tortilla with some mozzarella and grilled it all together! enjoy!  Love you all! 

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry quinoa
• 2 medium avocados
• 3 oz. baby spinach
• 8 oz. cherry tomatoes
• 3 green onions

For the dressing

• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (I would go easy on the garlic, especially if you're going to put it in the fridge and eat it the next day! the garlic flavor comes out more and more as it sits) 
• 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 tsp. salt 
• (Could be really good to squeeze a lemon in there too!)

Directions

1. Cook the quinoa according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: in a small bowl whisk together ingredients and set aside.
3. Roughly chop the spinach and place in a large bowl.
4. Slice the green onions, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the avocado.
5. When quinoa is done cooking, add it to the large bowl with spinach and toss. The heat from the quinoa will lightly wilt the spinach.
6. Add the green onions, tomatoes, and dressing. Stir to combine.
7. Add the avocado and lightly toss.
8. Serve immediately or refrigerate to let flavors blend more.
