Directions

1

Heat the 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the quinoa and 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 12-16 minutes. Remove from the heat.

2

While the quinoa cooks, prepare the lime vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and cumin. Whisk (or shake in a jar with a lid) until well combined.

3

Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl and stir in the black beans, chickpeas, bell pepper, red onions and cilantro. Add the dressing and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

4

Serve salad warm or cold with sliced avocado.
