Cooking Instructions
- Rinse quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer. Combine with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until absorbed. Fluff and cool.
- Prepare corn by grilling or boiling until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If frozen, thaw under running water. Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, corn, and diced avocado. Pour dressing over and gently toss together.
- Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Chill or serve at room temperature.

Notes
For optimal taste, use fresh ingredients and avoid overcooking quinoa. Store leftovers without avocado to maintain texture.
