Mexican Quinoa Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing #SundaySupper

Mexican Quinoa Salad

I am happy to be back with #SundaySupper this week.  This is only my second time joining them, but it is such a supportive and great group to be a part of.  Today we are celebrating the 4th of July.  Seriously, check out all the amazing recipes at the end of this post.  I am really not sure how to pick what I am going to make on the 4th, there are just too many delicious options!

I am completely obsessed with avocado.  I put it on sandwiches, in salads, in pasta salads, eat it plain….you get the point.  I just realized that the last #SundaySupper post had avocado too :)   Anyway, when I saw this recipe for a quinoa with an avocado dressing I was one happy girl.  I have been trying so many different quinoa recipes lately, this just seemed like the perfect one to try next.

You could really change this up and put in whatever veggies you like.  I stuck with the more “Mexican” style veggies, if there is such a thing.  But really, anything you have on hand or is your favorite would work.  The avocado dressing is what really stands out in this to me.  It is so creamy, and buttery it just works well with the quinoa.   And a bonus of this salad?  It is great warm or cold.  Perfect for your 4th of July picnic or barbeque!
