PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool.

Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then grill until fully cooked. Once cooled, slice into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, and minced red onion.
Gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.
