Southwestern Quinoa Salad

in Entrees, Salads

I may be on vacation right now, but that does not mean I cannot stop by for a quick chit-chat.  Who am I kidding?  I typed this up weeks ago in preparation for today 😉  Normally I invite guest posters to my blog when I take a vacation/blogcation, but sometimes even that can be a bit of work.  So this time, I am guest posting somewhere else!

Slightly crunchy quinoa.
Nutrient-packed vegetables.
Creamy avocado.
Just spicaaaay enough.

This Southwestern Quinoa Salad really fits the bill for a complete and delicious meal or appetizer.
