Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 scallions, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 pinch of turmeric (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large lettuce or romaine leaves
Method:
In a mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, tomato, scallions, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and turmeric if using. Mix until well combined. Carefully halve avocados lengthwise and remove the pit. Running a small knife between the avocado skin and flesh, remove pulp, keeping shells intact. Cut the avocado pulp into 1/2-inch dice and add to quinoa mixture. Add the lime or lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning. Spoon the mixture into reserved avocado shells and serve immediately on salad plates lined with lettuce or romaine leaves.
