- Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
- Prepare the vegetables: Dice the avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Place them all in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the quinoa: Once the quinoa is cooled, add it to the bowl with the diced vegetables.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Toss to coat: Gently toss all the ingredients together until well coated with the dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for about 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a final toss and serve as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
