Hey lovelies! Hope you had a WONDERFUL July 4th. Gotta love long weekends 🙂 I made this amazingly DELICIOUS and EASY salad over the weekend and had to share it with you. If you’re starting from scratch, it will take 15 minutes, but if you’ve got some leftover quinoa in your frig like I did, this power salad will take less than 5 minutes to make. So refreshing and packed with good fats, veggies, and protein for the belly 🙂 Yum!
Here are the ingredients:
(1) 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
(2) 1 large avocado
(3) 2 tablespoons lemon juice
(4) 7 oz. spinach
(5) 2 roma tomatoes
(6) salt and pepper to taste
(7) mozzarella cheese (to sprinkle)
STEP 1: Cook the quinoa according to the package. It shouldn’t take more than 10-15 minutes. Set aside and let it cool.
STEP 2: Meanwhile, grab a large bowl and place the spinach, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and lemon juice and toss lightly. Season with a little salt and pepper as needed.
STEP 3: Add the quinoa and toss once more. Serve on a plate and add a splash of mozarella cheese 🙂 Done and done!

Oh this sounds so good, I love spinach salad and I have been wanting to eat more Avocado. It is super good for you! There are some days my diet is somewhat restricted and I am a bit to thin to begin with so Avocado is perfect for me. I really do need to eat more of it.
