Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Once the quinoa has cooled slightly, toss it in a mixing bowl with the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and chia seeds.
Squeeze lemon juice over the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
