INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Black Beans
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1/4 small Red Onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
2 tablespoons Fresh Mint (chopped)
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking quinoa according to package instructions if not already prepared; allow it to cool.
Rinse and drain the black beans and chop the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion into small pieces.
Grill the chicken breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then cut into bite-sized strips.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, chopped vegetables, grilled chicken, chopped cilantro, and mint.
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the mixture, and gently toss to ensure even distribution of the dressing.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, allow the salad to rest for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors meld together.
