INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Cooked Black Beans
1/4 cup Sweet Corn
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 small Red Onion
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro
1 medium Lime (juiced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once grilled, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse and drain the black beans, and if using canned, ensure they are rinsed well.
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion, and mince the garlic. Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, sweet corn, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Top the salad with the diced grilled chicken. Adjust salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately or chilled.
