Avocado and Mint Quinoa Salad

A nice fresh salad - grabbed from The Daily Meal. It's portrayed as low carb, but it isn't from what I can tell! Still, it sounds great...

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup quinoa
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups  chicken stock or 1 1⁄2 cups  vegetable stock
• 2  avocados, diced
• 1⁄4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
• 4  cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1  lemon

Directions

1. In a pan, combine the quinoa, salt, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Toss and serve or refrigerate for later.
