Ingredients
  

  • 400 g quinoa

For the dressing

  • 300 ml balsamic vinegar 20 tbsp

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa

  • Rinse the quinoa well under cold water.

  • Fluff with a fork and allow to cool slightly.

Meantime: Prepare the Dressing

  • In a small bowl or jar, mix the vinegar, mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is well combined and slightly creamy.

Prep the Fresh Ingredients

  • Dice the avocado and tomatoes.
  • Rinse and drain the white beans
  • Slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces

Assemble the Bowl

  • Spread the cooked quinoa evenly in a large bowl or distribute it among individual bowls.
  • Arrange the white beans, diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, and smoked salmon in the bowl / bowls.
  • Drizzle the dressing generously over the bowl just before serving.
