Mexiquinoa Salad
Quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) is an ancient grain that comes from the Andes in South America.
Quinoa is gluten-free and has more protein than any other grain. It’s truly Supernatural and super delicious. There are so many ways to cook it.
Ingredients
-
1 cup quinoa
-
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
-
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-
1 cup cooked corn kernels
-
1 cup cooked black beans
-
3 green onions, sliced
-
Small bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Zest and juice of 1 lime
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups broth (or water) in a saucepan, add sea salt and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook until all the broth or water is absorbed, about 15- 20 minutes. When done the grains will look almost clear. Fluff with a fork and let stand until cool.
- Place the quinoa into a salad bowl, add the corn, black beans, sliced onions, cilantro, olive oil, lime zest and juice, cumin and salt and pepper to taste.
