Corn, Avocado, and Quinoa Salad with Marinated Tomatoes

Step 1

Cook quinoa according to package directions.

Step 2

Prepare marinated tomatoes.

Step 3

Toss cooled quinoa with corn, tomatoes and juice, shallots, herbs, lime juice and zest, olive oil, and salt.

Step 4

The mixture will hold up pretty well for a few hours in the fridge (or even for a day or two, if you don’t mind that it will look a little less perky). Wait to toss in your avocado and cheese just before serving for optimal freshness, and if it’s been sitting for a while, give it one more salt / oil / lime juice treatment to wake it all up. YUMYUMYUM.
