  2. In the meantime, drain your beans, dice your cherry tomatoes, cucumber & avocado into bite-size pieces, and prepare your dressing by whisking all your dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. 5 minutes before the quinoa has finished cooking, add in your frozen sweetcorn.
