Quinoa salad with Avocado Dressing

So I had a couple of avocados to use up in the fridge... and I didn't want to just throw them on a salad, because, well, that's boring. So, I decided to add them to my salad in a different way.


This dressing is to die for! I'm going to make batches of it from now on, and put it on everything!!!


Avocado Dressing
-1 ripe avocado, mashed
-3 tbsp olive oil
-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-2 tbsp lemon juice
-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-2 tbsp chives, minced
-1 pinch salt
-1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
-sweetener, to taste

Add all ingredients (except sweetener) in a food processor or blender. Once mixed, add sweetener until desired taste. Add a little bit of water if dressing is too thick. 

















Salad
-2 C cooked Quinoa (I always cook my quinoa in vegetable broth, just to add more flavour)
-1 C grape tomatoes, quartered
-1 C snap peas, diced
-1 C corn kernels
-salt and pepper to taste


Mix quinoa, tomatoes, peas and corn together in large bowl. Add desired amount of avocado dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.
