Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by ensuring the quinoa is cooked and cooled to room temperature. Fluff it with a fork to separate the grains, which will help in mixing later. This step is crucial for maintaining a light texture in your bowl.
2. 2.
   In a medium bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced avocado, black beans, and halved cherry tomatoes. Gently fold the ingredients together with a large spoon, taking care to not mash the avocado. The goal is to have distinct pieces for texture.
3. 3.
   Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture. This not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps to keep the avocado from browning too quickly. Lime juice is essential for balancing the richness of the avocado with freshness.
4. 4.
   Toss the ingredients lightly just until everything is coated with lime juice. The mixture should look vibrant and colorful, with the lime juice enhancing the shine of the tomatoes and the vibrant green of the avocado.
5. 5.
   Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with any extra lime slices for added flair. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste. If the bowl seems too dry, you can add an extra dash of lime juice or a touch of olive oil for moisture.
