  • 1 cup Cucumber Zucchini can also work well.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Green onions can be used for a milder taste.

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Lime juice can be a good substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Substitute with whole grain mustard for added texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Avocado oil can also be used.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven and bake the salmon until flakey and cooked through.
  2. Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.
  3. Dice the avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into bite-size pieces.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing.
  5. Assemble the bowl starting with quinoa as the base, then top with baked salmon, avocado, and fresh vegetables.

Notes

Serve fresh and warm. Consider topping with nuts like cashews or walnuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container, keeping dressing separate to avoid browning the avocado.
