If you are an adherent of proper nutrition or are on a weight loss diet, I bring to your attention the salad from the PP series - quinoa with avocado. It is tasty, light and with calories that are good for our body. Preparing a salad is very simple and, most importantly, quickly, which is especially valuable if you come home after a long work and do not want to stand at the stove for a long time.
Ingredients:
Quinoa - 80 g
Avocado - 1 pc.
Tomato - 1 pc.
Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
Cilantro - 4 branches
Thyme - 2 branches
Sea salt - to taste
Ground black pepper - optional
Lemon juice (on demand) - 1 tbsp.
How to cook:
Prepare foods from the list. Wash avocado, cilantro and tomato under running water, pat dry with paper towels.
Pour the quinoa into a small cauldron or stewpan, fill with clean drinking water in a ratio of 1 to 3, put on the stove. As soon as it boils, add a little salt, turn the heat down, cover and cook for exactly 15 minutes.
The water should completely evaporate. Remove the finished cereal from the stove, loosen with a fork, cool.
Peel the avocado and pits, cut into small cubes. If the fruit darkens when slicing, you can pour it over with lemon juice. Cut the tomato into small cubes too. Place everything in a comfortable deep bowl.
Remove the cilantro leaves from the stems, chop lightly. Tear the fresh thyme sprigs by hand. Add aromatic herbs to a bowl.
By this time, the quinoa should definitely have cooled down, transfer it to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients of the dish.
Now the salad needs to be seasoned with good quality olive oil, preferably first pressed, add a little sea salt to taste and black ground pepper (if desired) for flavor. Stir the dish so that all ingredients are seasoned.
Divide the quinoa and avocado salad into portions and serve.
On fasting days, such a salad can easily replace one meal, for example, breakfast or dinner, then the specified amount of ingredients will go for one serving.
