Ingredients: (For a single serving)
1 Avocado
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (mine was a mix of black and white)*
2 slices of red bell pepper, diced
Handful of yellow onion, diced
Handful of corn
Handful of grape tomatoes, diced
Salt & pepper
Cilantro
Half of a lime
Dash of Sriracha
Cut the avocado in half, discarding the seed. Using a spoon, scrape the majority of the avocado out, chop into squares, and leave aside. (I left a thin layer of avocado in the skin.)
Mix the cooked quinoa, bell peppers, onion, (I didn't have one on hand, but a shallot would have been perfect here, instead of the onion!) corn, tomatoes, cubed avocado, and cilantro together. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lime juice and Sriracha in and toss to coat. Spoon into the avocado cups and serve!
*My avocados were on the smaller side and using a 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa was way more than enough for two cups. Just to help you decide how much you'll need.

Love these! Did mom tell you we had these when they were here last week at Dish Society?
ReplyDeleteShe did and I was lucky enough to have all the leftovers in the fridge to make some. So good and a nice change of pace from my normal lunch!

ReplyDeleteThanks Ali!
DeleteLooks so tasty!! I never thought to use the avocado shell! I make a similar salad for camping. Yours looks a lot fancier though!
