A refreshing salad packed with nutritious ingredients, perfect for meal prep and quick dinners.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup quinoa
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
2 bell peppers, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, diced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, this means rinsing it under cold water, then boiling it in 2 cups of water for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the bell peppers, red onion, and avocado, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, and all the diced vegetables. Toss gently to mix.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well-coated and combined.
Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for easy lunches or quick dinners throughout the week.
