Instructions
Make the vegetable quinoa:
- Cook quinoa according to packet instructions, let cool and transfer to the salad bowl.
- Add all the other ingredients, including lemon juice and olive oil to your taste to the quinoa, mix and set aside.
Grilled the avocados:
- Fire up the barbeque and wait till the coals are medium hot.
- Halve the avocados and remove the seed but leave the skin on.
- Brush the avocado halves with lime juice, followed by some olive oil.
- Brush the grill with some oil and grill the avocados flesh side down for about 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Stuff the avocados:
- Stuff the avocados with as much vegetable quinoa as they can hold and serve with extra lime slices.
Notes
- Brushing the avocado halves with lime juice helps prevent discoloration of the fruit.
- Feel free to throw in other veggies you have in your refrigerator and garden too.
- This is great for using up leftover quinoa.
