Instructions
If using chia gel in place of olive oil, combine 3 tbsps of water and 1 tsp of chia seeds. Mix well and set aside.
Note: If you are planning on making this salad ahead of time the pasta will keep best with the addition of oil. If you dont want to use the full 3 tbsps for the dressing, simply toss the pasta with a little olive oil just after cooking.
Cook quinoa pasta according to package directions, being careful not to over or under cook. Drain and rinse. Toss with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil.
In a small bowl combine lime juice, olive oil or chia gel, chipotle, peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper.
Combine cooked pasta with cooked quinoa, beans, tomato, corn, peppers, and onion. Toss with dressing, reserving a little if desired. When ready to serve, add in avocado and additional dressing if desired.
