In her encyclopedic cookbook “Vegetable Literacy”, Deborah Madison shares the magic of pairing avocado and quinoa, inspiring Oldways to create this recipe. The creamy coolness of ripe avocado blankets nutty, textured quinoa in perfect harmony. Add tender, wine-kissed beet greens to the mix, and you have a simple, gourmet-tasting meal that takes less than 25 minutes to prepare.
