INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Quinoa
1/2 cup drained canned Black Beans
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
While the quinoa cools, prepare the grilled chicken breast by seasoning lightly with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grill until cooked through and slice into bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, drained black beans, chopped red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the sliced grilled chicken and fresh chopped cilantro to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice and olive oil. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients well.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
