Recipe for pointed cabbage salad with quinoa, chicken, peas, and avocado

I am very fond of meal salads – they’re easy, quick, healthy, and there are so many possibilities. And it’s nice to have dishes that aren’t too heavy in the summer heat. Here is a super delicious pointed cabbage salad with quinoa, chicken, avocado, and peas – all tossed in a simple but flavorful dressing and topped with crunchy seeds and nuts… For the salad, I’ve made a quick avocado cream.

This salad tastes delightful! And it’s ready in just about fifteen minutes…
Quinoa can be bought pre-cooked and ready to use, making it very quick to prepare the salad. Alternatively, you can cook the quinoa yourself (about 150g), just keep in mind to include the cooking time in your preparation.
