Quinoa Avocado Veg Healthy Office Salad
by Tarla Dalal

Here’s one more mind-blowing way to include healthy quinoa in your diet.

A lunch salad made of cooked quinoa, sprouts, avocado, yummy veggies and mushroom, this salad has a scrumptious mouth-feel and a colourful, attractive appearance.

Tossed with a lemon and garlic dressing, it also has a vibrant flavour that takes it beyond the plane of commonness. What’s more, this extraordinary Quinoa Avocado Veg Healthy Office Salad is also bursting with good health!

Quinoa is rich in fibre and protein . Being a whole grain, it keeps you full and does not cause your blood sugar levels to surge.

Avocado is loaded with good healthy fat, while other ingredients are rich in antioxidants that prevent major diseases.

Keep the dressing in a separate box, and mix it together with the salad just before eating your lunch.
