INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (≈92g)
3/4 cup cooked black beans (≈130g)
4 large egg whites (≈120g total)
1/2 medium red bell pepper (≈61g)
1/2 cup sweet corn (≈82g)
1/4 medium avocado (≈50g)
1 Tbsp lime juice (15g)
1/2 tsp olive oil (2.3g)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Prepare the base by cooking quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked and allow it to cool.
Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned, or use pre-cooked beans.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and measure out the sweet corn.
In a bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, diced red bell pepper, and corn.
Separate egg whites from whole eggs or use liquid egg whites. Lightly whisk and then cook them in a nonstick pan until just set. Cool slightly and roughly chop them.
Add the chopped egg whites to the salad mix.
Dice the avocado and add it along with the lime juice and olive oil. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness, or chill for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
