Instructions

Cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
Once cooked, add the quinoa and raw corn to a large mixing bowl with the chopped jalapeño, green onions, cilantro avocado vinaigrette, all of the lime juice, chunks of havarti cheese and a dash of chili powder. Toss to combine.

For the Cilantro Vinaigrette

Make according to the link above but add 1 avocado into the mix before blending until smooth. If it's too thick, smooth out with a few tablespoons of water. The consistency should be that of mayo.

Notes

The quinoa can be prepped ahead of time and kept in the fridge plain until ready to assemble.
