 Health benefits...
We like to know why what we are eating is good for us.
 
Quinoa –
Quinoa cooks quickly (about 15 minutes) and is easily digestible; it’s a complete source of protein, naturally gluten free, has anti-inflammatory properties, anti-oxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. It’s a heart healthy grain and helps reduce unhealthy cholesterol.
 
Avocado-
Avocados can help lower blood pressure; they are full of beneficial monounsaturated oils (good fats) great for keeping your joints lubricated. Avocados are full of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories too.

This salad is great served in a large bowl, scattered on a platter, packed into your lunch box or jar.
Enjoy!
