If you are cooking the quinoa, rinse 1 cup quinoa and add to a saucepan along with 2 cups water (or stock) and 1/2 teaspoon salt
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 10-12 minutes
Set quinoa aside and if serving soon, put it in the fridge to cool it down
Meanwhile, finely chop half an avocado, 1 Roma tomato, and 1 cup spinach
For the dressing, add 1/4 cup olive oil to a blender or food processor along with the juice of 1 lime, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 10-15 sprigs cilantro
Pulse blend and taste for heat and seasoning. If desired, you can a bit more jalapeno or salt
Combine the quinoa, tomato, avocado and spinach in a bowl.
Garnish with cheese (Cotija!) and additional avocado if you want
Drizzle Lime-Cilantro dressing over the top
