Put cooked quinoa, tuna, turkey bacon crumbles, cherry tomatoes, avocado, green onions, and cilantro in a large bowl

Salt and pepper should be mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and whisked together in a small bowl

The vinaigrette should be poured over the quinoa mixture, and it should be gently mixed to cover everything
