Also it didn’t look anything like the photo which doesn’t have the creamy Avo dressing

Not bad but needed tweaking. We ended up stirring everything together and adding additional flavours and seasoning. I agree you need the whole jar of sundries tomatoes. I substituted basil for coriander and it came through nicely with the lime.

I'm not a fan of jalapeños so instead added some anchovy fillets to give a zingy flavour. Also works well with baby new potatoes instead of quinoa. Could use mint instead of basil for a twist? Very successful either way!

We loved this, but tweaked it quite heavily! Adding seasoning to everything works wonders, we cooked 100g of quinoa in stock, roasted the chicken in garlic Italian seasoning and added a lot of salt and pepper to the salad. We also stirred the quinoa through the salad, which I think worked better…
