Turn quin-nah into quinYAH with a few fresh ingredients! Don't be tempted to skimp on the fresh herbs in this recipe - I've tried using dried, and it just isn't the same. The fresh herbs really are what make you inadvertently close your eyes and say "yum..." out loud upon the first bite. Ripe, soft avocados work best for the perfect consistency of the dressing.

Ingredients

2 c. quinoa

4 c. vegetable stock or water

1 medium ripe avocado, cut in half, seed discarded.

1/2 c. Greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

1

Add quinoa and vegetable stock to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cover pan with a lid.

2

Cook, covered, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off heat and let quinoa sit, covered for an additional 5 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, scoop avocado flesh and add to blender. Add Greek yogurt, parsley, basil, green onions, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
