This refreshing and flavorful, protein-rich salad brings in some of the flavors of the traditional salsa Mexicana that’s often served alongside grilled fish. Blackened green onions are transformed into a smooth and herbaceous dressing with lime juice, cilantro, and avocado oil. The lightly salted cucumbers, blistered tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a touch of crispy quinoa and lime zest make this the salad you want on repeat. No greens needed.
