Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Quinoa

   Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Cook the Quinoa

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Chop the Vegetables

   While the quinoa is cooking, chop 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, 1 cup of black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1 cup of corn.

5. 5

   Add Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour this dressing over the quinoa mixture.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Chop a bunch of fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss everything together until well combined.

7. 7

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
