Our last recipe in the avocado series is this delicious salad. It works great as a meatless main or a side dish. Combine with a lean protein for a more balanced meal. Quinoa is a gluten-free grain that is high in fiber and plant-based protein. The combination of avocado, tomato, cabbage and corn provides a variety of vitamins and antioxidants to nourish your body. The addition of Mexican-inspired spices like cilantro, fajita seasoning and oregano will please your taste buds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
