Quinoa, veggies, and spices make for a delicious salad!
3/4 c. white quinoa
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 med. red bell pepper
15 1/2 oz. canned black beans
1/2 c. cilantro
1/2 c. green onion
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tbsp. lime juice
black pepper to taste
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
Combine quinoa, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer until water is evaporated, 10-15 minutes.
Mix chopped red pepper, sliced green onions, diced tomatoes and chilies, drained and rinsed black beans, and chopped cilantro in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine oil, cumin, lime juice, and black pepper. Stir to mix.
When quinoa is cooled, add to veggie and bean mixture. Add oil mixture, and stir to combine.
