Since I am on my avocado kick, here is another recipe I found from VegNews...Quinoa-stuffed avocados. Not only is this going to be delicious, its going to be very healthy for you too. Remember, avocados may be fatty, but its the GOOD fat!What You Need:
1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 ripe tomato, chopped
2 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large butter lettuce leaves
What You Do:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, tomato, scallions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.2. Carefully halve avocados lengthwise and remove the pit. Running a small knife between the avocado skin and flesh, remove pulp, keeping shells intact. Cut the avocado pulp into 1/2-inch dice and add to quinoa mixture.3. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning.4. Spoon the mixture into reserved avocado shells and serve immediately on salad plates lined with lettuce leaves.
