Healthy and simple recipes ● Quinoa Salad with Green Vegetables and Avocado

Are you back to work? These first few days of adjusting to a routine can sometimes be a real challenge, especially when it comes to meals.

It is natural to overindulge during the holidays and it is not always easy to get back on track.

So, why not start at the beginning? Kick off your routine with the RESET Program, which will help boost the body's anti-inflammatory process.

With that in mind, this week we bring you a quinoa salad recipe. A light yet nutritious dish, perfect for continuing the detoxification process after our RESET Program.

• Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of quinoa (already cooked)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 bunch of broccoli (cut into small florets)
  • 1 bunch of asparagus (cut in half)
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• Preparation:

1. Cook the vegetables: Heat a large skillet with olive oil and sauté the garlic until golden. Add the broccoli and asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
2. Mix with the quinoa: In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa with the sautéed vegetables.
3. Prepare the avocado: Add the avocado slices to the dish.
4. Final dressing: Drizzle the warm salad with lemon juice, add more olive oil if necessary, and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and fresh cilantro or parsley leaves.
5. Serve: Serve the salad warm as a main dish, enjoying the detoxifying benefits of the green vegetables and quinoa.

This dish, rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids, helps maintain a sense of lightness while providing essential nutrients to the body, promoting detoxification and reducing inflammation. It is a complete and nutritious meal after a 3-day liquid detox (RESET).
