INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast, cooked
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Red Onion
1/4 cup fresh Cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper, then grill until fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes per side). Allow it to rest, then slice into strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, drained black beans, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil; season with a pinch of salt and pepper to create the zesty citrus vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled option.
