Just in case you use cups to measure your quinoa, one cup of quinoa is around 180g, so 100g is just over half a cup.
Let’s start preparing this delightful salad.
The first step is to rinse the quinoa under cold water.
Well, this step is optional, but if you want to remove the slightly bitter taste of quinoa, then rinse it. If not, then that is fine too.
Once you have rinsed or not rinsed the quinoa, add it into a saucepan.
Now cover the quinoa with water. The perfect ratio of quinoa to water is 2:1, so if you added 100mg Quinoa, add 200ml of water.
Then, bring it to boil, but then reduce to simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.
Once it has cooked, drain the quinoa and add it into a bowl for it to cool down a little.
While the quinoa is cooking move onto the next step.

Once the quinoa has cooled down a little, mix it with the dressing, alongside the rest of the ingredients into a bowl.
Mix it well, until the dressing covers all the ingredients. That’s it, now enjoy your perfect tuna, avocado, and quinoa salad!
