Vegetable Quinoa Salad with Avocado

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly with warm water. Salt 600 ml of water with one teaspoon of salt, bring it to a boil, then add the quinoa. Bring it to a boil again, reduce the heat to minimum, and cook for 15 minutes. Pour the cooked quinoa into a bowl and let it cool.

Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into approximately 2 cm cubes. Halve the avocados, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, and also cut it into 2 cm cubes.

In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar, then mix thoroughly. Finally, add the avocado, garlic, chopped fresh herbs (parsley, mint), and the cooled quinoa. Gently mix everything together, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
