FOR THE SALAD:
2 cups Water
1-1/2 cup Quinoa
1 pint Grape Tomatoes
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1-1/2 whole Avocado
1-1/2 cup Spinach
FOR THE DRESSING:
1/4 cups Tahini (sesame Seed Paste)
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Warm Water
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 whole Lemon, Juiced
1 teaspoon Honey
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper

1
Boil the water. Once the water is boiling, add the quinoa, cover with a lid, and turn the heat down to simmer the quinoa. The quinoa should cook for about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork when it's done cooking and allow it cool slightly.
2
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Cut the grape tomatoes in half and lay them in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Roast the tomatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they start to caramelize. Allow the tomatoes to cool slightly.
3
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Make the dressing about 15 minutes ahead of mixing it into the salad.
4
Mix together quinoa, tomatoes, avocado, and spinach. Drizzle with tahini viniagrette (I used about 2/3 of what I made) and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
