This plant-based, gluten-free dish is hearty enough for a light lunch in itself, or pairs deliciously with your favorite protein, sandwich, or on your party buffet. While quinoa is considered an ancient grain, it is technically a seed, and is a complete protein. California Avocados are the perfect partner, having nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial nutrients, making them a tasty choice for a delicious and healthy menu. Over 75% of the fat in avocados is unsaturated (mono- and polyunsaturated), making them a great substitute for foods high in saturated fat.
