Follow these simple steps to create your Savory Quinoa Salad:

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, called saponin, which can taste bitter.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, corn, red onion, and parsley.
6. Add the cooked quinoa to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
8. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, then gently toss until everything is well combined.
9. Finally, fold in the diced avocado to add creaminess to the salad.
10. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
