1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and drain. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour over the quinoa mixture and toss to coat.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
