Avocado Quinoa Salad with Chipotle Dressing
This Avocado Quinoa Salad is the perfect healthy lunch or summertime dinner! Toasted Quinoa adds a delicious crunch and the Chipotle Dressing is a must-try. Enjoy!
Our kitchen counter tops are getting put in today and I am SO excited! It's been a long road but the house renovation is starting to wind down and I'm just so ready to get back a sense of normalcy! (I haven't had a full on kitchen in months).
I posted a pic of one of our completed bathrooms on my Instagram story today! I am obsessed with the way it turned out! It's so bright and airy and ugh, I'm just so happy. Go look if you haven't already (@projectsunny) and let me know what you think!
I liked this chipotle sauce so much that I started making huge jars and using it on everything. It really does go with EVERYTHING.

Alright. I'm off for a run before I head to work. Hope you guys have a great day!
