Put the quinoa in a pan with the water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to let it simmer for 15 minutes. When it's cooked cover with a cloth and leave to stand.
Meanwhile chop up the avocado, olives and coriander.
Fluff up the quinoa with a fork and stir in the avocado, olives and coriander.
