INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Black Beans (cooked)
1/2 cup Quinoa (cooked)
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Corn Kernels
1/4 medium Avocado
2 tbsp diced Red Onion
2 tbsp chopped Cilantro
2 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Once done, allow it to rest before slicing into strips.
In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, quinoa, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, and diced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to create the zesty vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the bean and quinoa mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Fold in the sliced grilled chicken and gently mix.
Top the salad with sliced avocado and a final sprinkling of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately or chilled.
