Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Spread into a medium bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. Stir tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into cooled quinoa in the bowl. Season with lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top with quinoa salad. Garnish with avocado to serve. Tips Rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove the bitter coating. You can use regular quinoa instead of red quinoa (they taste the same). You can find quinoa in the organic or bulk food sections of most grocery stores. I Made It Print 101 home cooks made it!
