INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained

1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast

PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked, then allow to cool slightly.
Drain and rinse the black beans and shelled edamame. Pat the tofu dry and cut it into small cubes.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, edamame, and tofu.
Add sliced red bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes to the mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
