Instructions
Quinoa Corn Salad
- Combine the cooked quinoa, grilled corn kernels, tomatoes and bell peppers in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the salad dressing over the top.
- Mix well, then garnish with fresh cilantro.
Avocado Dressing
- Prepare the salad dressing by adding the avocado, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a blender, blend on low until smooth.
- Drizzle the olive oil in the blender while on low. Continue blending until smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Traditional balsamic vinegar can be used instead of white balsamic vinegar. It will just give the salad dressing a darker color.
