Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1 avocado
1 cup asparagus cut into few inch pieces
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
2 shallots
1/2 tsp salt

Dressing

Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove minced
1 tsp Italian herb seasoning
1/2 tsp honey or agave
Pinch of salt
Directions
Rinse quinoa under cold running water for a minute or two to get rid of the bitter aftertaste.
Transfer to a pot or rice cooker, add 2 cups of water, salt, cover and bring to a boil. Lower down the heat and cook 15 min or until water is absorbed.
In another pot bring water to a boil, add asparagus and simmer 5-8 min or until soft.
When ready cool down the quinoa and asparagus. Meanwhile chop all the veggie ingredients.
Prepare the dressing by simply mixing all of its ingredients in a bowl.
In a bowl combine quinoa, avocado, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes and shallots. Pour the dressing and mix until all is combined.
