Cooking Tips
- Quinoa cooking tip: For fluffier quinoa, use a ratio of about 1.75 cups water to 1 cup quinoa, bring it to a boil, and then simmer covered for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- Enhancing flavours: Let the bean and corn mixture marinate with some of the avocado dressing for an hour before assembling the bowls to enhance the flavours.
- Additional protein: For an extra protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to the bowl.
