Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear; set aside to drain.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes until cooked; allow to cool slightly.
- Char the corn kernels in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned. For frozen or canned corn, drain and rinse, then add to a large mixing bowl.
- Chop 1 red bell pepper and a small red onion into bite-sized pieces and add them to the mixing bowl with the corn.
- Fluff the cooled quinoa and add it to the bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil; mix with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in 1 diced avocado and chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate the salad. Garnish with lime wedges before serving.
