INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
1 cup black beans (172g)
4 oz firm tofu (113g)
1/4 avocado (50g)
1/4 cup corn (50g)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (40g)
2 tbsp diced red onion (20g)
1/2 tsp olive oil (2.5g)
1 tbsp lime juice (15g)
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool.
Rinse and drain the black beans. If using canned, ensure they are low-sodium.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, tofu cubes, corn, diced red bell pepper, and red onion.
Squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the salad gently to combine.
Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes if desired to let flavors meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
