Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, canned or frozen
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, called saponin, which can impart a bitter taste.
  2. Cook the quinoa by combining it with the water or vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.
  3. Combine the cooked quinoa with black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro in a large bowl.
  4. Dress the mixture with fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add diced avocado on top just before serving for a creamy finish.
