I made a huge bowl of this to serve all week... I put about 2 cups of this over baby mixed salad greens, and it is SO good! High in fiber, with a good amount of protein, plus it's gluten free, vegan, oil free/very low fat, etc.
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cans black beans, rinsed
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 bag frozen corn (roasted version if available)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 medium red onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup salsa/pico de gallo
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/4 cup (more or less) chopped cilantro
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp. ground pepper, or to taste
After you rinse the quinoa, cook it to the package directions. Meanwhile, chop your veggies. When the quinoa is done cooking, mix everything together in a big bowl. Chill, then taste for seasoning, adjust as needed.
You can also add chopped avocado if you like. And you can add chopped chicken too, which naturally makes it not vegan, but still very good.
