Instructions
- 1
Boil the quinoa for 15 minutes and cool it, letting the excess water drain off so the dressing balance is not diluted.
15 min15:00 - 2
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool for 5 minutes so the grains do not stick.
5 min05:00 - 3
For the lime dressing, whisk the olive oil with lime juice and salt so the Peruvian brightness comes forward.
- 4
Gently toss the main ingredients with the dressing for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces do not fall apart.
1 min01:00 - 5
Transfer to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the dressing is still glossy.
💡 Tip: Letting the quinoa rest after draining helps keep the grains separate.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the salad cool, topped with avocado and cilantro.
