INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup black beans
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup corn
1/8 cup chopped red onion
3 oz grilled chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked, and allow it to cool.
Rinse and drain the black beans and cut the red bell pepper, corn kernels (if using fresh, cut from the cob), and red onion into small pieces.
Dice the grilled chicken breast into bite-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, red bell pepper, corn, red onion, and chicken.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to make the zesty dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to evenly coat all ingredients.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld.
