  1. Combine the cooked and chilled red quinoa with the corn, cilantro, tomato and scallions in a large bowl.
  2. Gently add the diced avocado and stir to combine.
  3. Add the extra virgin olive oil and the juice from the lemon. Being as careful as you can so not to mush the avocado, stir everything together.
