So we are running a FREE Clean Eating Group that just kicked off today, and today’s lunch was this delicious and healthy Quinoa and Avocado Salad! I was inspired by this recipe, and made a few slight tweaks to it. It’s simple to make, and the fresh red and orange peppers give it a sweet and crisp taste that is just delicious!
It’s so good and a PERFECT spring-time clean eating lunch! This recipe is also almost infinitely versatile. As you can see in my picture below I also added in a little leftover corn that I had. You could easily add in some Cayenne pepper to kick up the spice.
The hummus dressing is AMAZING and I am so excited about how simple it was. I was actually eating grilled chicken salads for a while with just a scoop of garlic hummus on top; but adding some lime juice, some cumin and some water to thin it out a bit made it into an actual salad dressing consistency and it is DELICIOUS! I will be using it on salads as well, not just this bowl.
If you tried this recipe or tweaked it at all, I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!
