You really don't have to do anything fancy with quinoa, it's lovely as it is and this salad can be whipped up in no time but packs a real nutritional punch as the salmon and chia seeds so rich in Omega 3 oils.

2 cups cooked quinoa

2 avocado's 

1 cup goats cheese (or you could use cottage cheese or feta)

1 cup cherry tomatoes
