This Greek Quinoa with Avocados is such a great salad. It is packed with nutrient rich ingredients and full of flavor. Perfect for the sunny spring days we’ve been having this week! Did you know that Quinoa is naturally high in protein? It is a great as a vegetarian dish, but you could add some diced or shredded chicken to make a more hearty meal out of it. This is the perfect side dish for some grilled fish, chicken or steak. Either way you’ll love it!
