- Olive Oil ¼ tablespoon

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and quinoa. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer the mixture until the quinoa is tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for 15 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork; transfer to a large bowl.
Step 2
Meanwhile, mix the oil with the lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle the resulting dressing over the quinoa; season with salt and pepper. Let it cool.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the shallot and tomatoes in a grilling basket for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they start to char in places and the tomatoes begin to burst. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the shallot into 2½ cm pieces.
Step 4
Transfer the quinoa to a serving dish, top with the shallot, tomatoes, avocado, mint, and pistachios. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
