Black Bean Quinoa Chopped Salad
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 15oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed, OR about 2 cups homemade cooked black beans
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 small red onion, diced
- a good handful of fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 large avocado, chopped
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive or avocado oil
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, about 1/4 teaspoon each
Instructions
- In a large bowl add all the ingredients and very gently stir to combine.
- You can serve this immediately or place in airtight containers and refrigerate.
- It keep well for up to 3 days, and it's actually tastier the next day, as the flavors blend together.
- My avocado does pretty well in this salad thanks to the fresh lime juice...but you COULD add avocado immediately before serving if you're planning to make ahead.
