Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil, then stir in the quinoa, lower the heat and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Cover and let sit for 6 minutes – you'll know the quinoa is ready when you see the little white "tail" of the germ around the outside edge of each seed.
- Once quinoa is done, transfer it to a large bowl and add the salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Fold to combine.
- Stir in corn, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions. Fold a few times until thoroughly combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt, lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Pack the dressing into mini sauce containers or add it to the salad and toss to combine.
- Serve topped with avocado, cheese, and additional cilantro.
