Quinoa Bowl Recipe

Quinoa Bowl Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Ingredients

   While the quinoa is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans, and if using frozen corn, thaw it under running water or by microwaving briefly. Chop the avocado and cilantro.

3. 3

   Mix the Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper to create a dressing.

4. 4

   Assemble the Bowl

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

5. 5

   Serve

   Divide the quinoa bowl mixture into serving bowls. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges before serving.
