Instructions

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and eat right away.
Taste for salt and lime juice, and adjust as needed.
If meal prepping, combine all the ingredients except for the avocado, and add when ready to eat.
Multiply the recipe for more servings.

Notes

If making the quinoa on the stove, I use less water than recommended. For 1 cup quinoa, I use 1 3/4 cup liquid.
