    List of Ingredients




    Ingredients (serves 2):

    1 cup quinoa
    1 avocado
    1 cup asparagus cut into few inch pieces
    1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
    2 shallots
    1/2 tsp salt

    Dressing:

    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 garlic clove minced
    1 tsp Italian herb seasoning
    1/2 tsp honey or agave
    Pinch of salt

    Recipe



    Rinse quinoa under cold running water for a minute or two to get rid of the bitter aftertaste.
    Transfer to a pot or rice cooker, add 2 cups of water, salt, cover and bring to a boil. Lower down the heat and cook 15 min or until water is absorbed.
    In another pot bring water to a boil, add asparagus and simmer 5-8 min or until soft.
    When ready cool down the quinoa and asparagus. Meanwhile chop all the veggie ingredients.
    Prepare the dressing by simply mixing all of its ingredients in a bowl.
    In a bowl combine quinoa, avocado, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes and shallots. Pour the dressing and mix until all is combined.
