Avocado & Quinoa salad recipe
Vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free
Avocado is one of my favourite foods along with lime and garlic....yum!
I have been trying to up my protein recently and quinoa is considered to be a complete protein which is amazing. It's also high in vitamins and nutrients, great for a vegan diet!

This salad is absolutely divine, fresh and extremely tasty!
It's packed full of flavour. It's nice to have the different textures, soft avocado, crisp tomatoes and crispy salad leaves.
It's a salad that can be whipped up fast and enjoyed whenever as its healthy & guilt-free.
You can always take it out and about with you or for picnics.
