Instructions
- 1
Rinse the quinoa, boil it for 12 minutes, and drain when the grains open.
12 min12:00 - 2
Warm the lima beans for 8 minutes to soften them, then drain without letting the skins fall apart.
8 min08:00 - 3
Dice the red onion, cilantro, tomato, and cucumber finely.
- 4
Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt for 30 seconds.
30 sec00:30 - 5
Toss the quinoa, beans, and vegetables with the dressing, then serve with the avocado left on top.
- 6
Fold the beans into the quinoa with a spatula, because loose skins will make the bowl look cloudy.
- 7
Add the avocado at serving time, since long contact with lime acid darkens its edges.
💡 Tip: Dressing the quinoa before it cools helps it absorb the lime aroma more deeply.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread the lima bean quinoa salad on a chilled plate and serve before the lime brightness fades.
