1 small ripe avocado, sliced thinly
2 heaped tbs of cooked quinoa
1 small piece of ginger, grated
For the dressing
1 thai chilli(although it's just one it's pretty hot so you can substitute with chilli flakes)
1 clove of garlic, sliced very thinly
Juice of half a lemon/lime
Himalayan Rock Salt or Celtic Sea Salt to taste

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the ingredients for the salad dressing and then pour over the salad and mix well.
