Your 10 white mushrooms. ( in French , they are called champignons de Paris - Paris mushrooms. These would make around 300 grams. If you find smaller ones so you can just get 300 gms
2 avocados. Ripe but firm. They need to stay in shape when you mix the salad
Cut them like above. Actually you can open and cut them the way you want or the way you are used to prepare them
The salad at this stage
By the way, you can use 1/2 of the quinoa and 1/2 of the azuki beans. And the rest can be served along to add in ones plate if desired. Or can b completely served along. Here I am mixing all
Add the cooked quinoa. I chose the white quinoa for the simple reason of keeping the salad looking as green as possible.
