INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
0.5 cup canned black beans, drained (130g)
0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper (46g)
0.25 cup chopped red onion (40g)
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes (75g)
3 ounces grilled chicken breast, sliced (85g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
3 tablespoons lime juice (44g)

PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions; allow to cool.
While the quinoa is cooling, rinse and drain the black beans.
Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
Prepare the grilled chicken breast by seasoning lightly and grilling until fully cooked; slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and grilled chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped cilantro over the top and serve immediately or chill for later.
