This is a delicious and nutritious salad that will fill you up! I'm always looking for quinoa recipes since quinoa is high in protein. This is another salad that the family loved!
Ingredients:
2 cups quinoa
1/4 cup olive oil
juice 1 lime
1 tbsp ground cumin
pinch red pepper flakes
3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed
1 med red bell pepper, chopped
1 med orange bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
sea salt and pepper to taste
Make the quinoa according to directions on package. Let cool.
Meanwhile, prepare dressing: in a small bowl, whisk oil, lime juice, cumin and pepper flakes until combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine corn, beans, bell peppers, jalapeno and cilantro. Add quinoa and stir to combine. Top with dressing, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Serve cold or at room temp.
**The longer this sits the better the flavor. You can make ahead!
