The work week starts again after a weekend of excesses and gochadasthat’s why it’s good to start Mondays with healthy and easy recipes that they do not steal much time in the kitchen. With these premises, we found the ideal recipe to welcome the good weather and bet on a delicious dinner without having to feel bad. Today we will cook quinoa, avocado and salmon salad.
This gastronomic trio is presented as a rich, fast, healthy and most balanced variant, which will fill us up without having to leave us with heavy digestion. With quinoa as the main base, we will mix it with the creaminess of the avocado. To create a contrast to our palate, the smoked salmon will culminate this mixture that will leave us ecstatic.
As the avocado is fatty, the best dressing is lemon juice, which in addition to providing freshness, adds a slight acidity. Although if we want to reduce its flavor, we can always create a vinaigrette with mustard. The key to this recipe is knowing how to cook the quinoa, something that won’t take more than 15 minutes.
Rich in high-quality protein and fiber, this dinner will also provide healthy fats and omega-3s. It is a most complete proposal that will satisfy us without giving up the exquisite. Although if we prefer, we can always replace the salmon with cubes of grilled chicken or tofo (the vegan version).
The excuse that healthy recipes are boring has become obsolete, proving that it is a true urban legend. That is why we suggest that you get down to work and bring out the cook in you.
