This is a modern recipe, created by blending traditional cooking methods with the increasing demand for delicious, satisfying vegan meals.

This dish was inspired by a trip to the farmer' market where I found the freshest and most vibrant vegetables. I wanted to create a meal that was not only vegan, but also colorful, nutritious, and full of flavor.

Ingredients

1 cups quinoa
2 cups water
1 cups cherry tomatoes
1 pieces avocado
2 cups spinach
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, and wash the spinach.
Once quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and spinach.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
