Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, dice the red bell pepper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, and diced red bell pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice (from 2 limes), cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the quinoa is cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, add it to the bowl with the black beans, corn, and red bell pepper. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Dice the avocado and add it to the salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
