ZESTY QUINOA SALAD



Zesty Quinoa Salad image

This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

  • First rinse and drain your quinoa using a mesh strainer or sieve. Bring a small pot to medium heat and lightly toast the quinoa to remove any excess water, stirring often. This step is optional but really adds to the nuttiness and fluff factor of the quinoa! Next add your water, set burner to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, for 12-13 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
  • While the quinoa cooks, use this time to prep remaining ingredients and steam your corn and edmame if needed.
  • Finely chop red onion and rinse with cold water in a sieve/strainer to take away some of the "bite". Finely chop jalapeno (minus seeds - or use bell pepper if preferred) and dice or slice tomatoes.
