5. To prepare the dressing, add basil leaves, lemon juice, mayonnaise, honey, and salt to the blender bowl. Blend at medium speed until smooth. Then gradually add olive oil to achieve the desired consistency. This is a simple way to make quinoa with avocado. The dressing can be immediately added to the salad or served separately.
