Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are red, juicy, and free of blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are too soft or have a green tinge.
  • Cook the quinoa perfectly: Quinoa is a delicate grain, so it's important to cook it carefully. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking, and then cook it according to the package directions. Fluff the quinoa with a fork before serving.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad is a simple vinaigrette, but it's best if you let it sit for a while before using it. This allows the flavors to meld together. You can make the dressing up to a day ahead of time.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This salad is best when it's served fresh. Assemble the salad just before serving, and then drizzle with the dressing. You can also add some crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This avocado tomato salad with quinoa is a healthy, delicious, and refreshing salad that's perfect for summer.
