Ingredients

  • 1 cup water

Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 about minutes, or until water is absorbed, seeds are translucent and expanded out from the seed. In a medium sized bowl, mix quinoa, tomatoes, black beans, spinach, and onion. In a small sized bowl, stir together lemon juice, oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour over quinoa and vegetables. Toss gently to mix. Place whole spinach leaves on plate with avocado slices and quinoa mix. Sprinkle feta over and enjoy!

To add some Mediterranean-style protein, try adding 3-6 ounces of steamed or sautéed shrimp.
