Lime Quinoa

1 cup Quinoa (rinsed)
2 cups Water

Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, lower heat, cover and cook until all water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. (Cool)

2 cloves Garlic (sautéed with a little olive oil for two minutes)
3/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
5 Green Onions (sliced thin) or 1 Shallot (chopped fine)
1/2 cup fresh Cilantro
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (cut in half)
1/4 cup Olive Oil

1/4 cup fresh Lime Juice (about 1-1/2 limes)
1 Avocado (diced)

Stir the cooked/cooled quinoa and remaining ingredients together. (Combine the lime juice and avocado in last to prevent the avocado from turning brown.)

Serves four.
