Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by cooking 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. Make sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking to remove any bitterness. Once done, fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
2. 2.
   While the quinoa is cooling, prepare the avocado and black beans. Dice half an avocado into bite-sized cubes and rinse and drain 1/4 cup of black beans. This will ensure the flavors meld perfectly without excess moisture.
3. 3.
   In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced avocado, black beans, and cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes should be halved to release their juices, which will naturally enhance the flavor of the dish.
4. 4.
   Drizzle 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice over the mixture. This will add a tangy brightness and prevent the avocado from browning. Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the lime juice coats all ingredients evenly.
5. 5.
   Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Adjust flavors by adding more lime juice for extra zing or more avocado for creaminess. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, and enjoy the vibrant colors and flavors of this easy-to-make bowl.
