Ingredients
For the Quinoa Salad
- 3 cups cooked quinoa approx 7 oz uncooked
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 medium tomatoes diced, approx 1 cup
- ⅔ cup canned corn drained
- ⅔ cup black beans
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- salt to taste
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 ⅓ cup feta crumbles
For the Quinoa Salad Dressing
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice approx 1 small lime
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp runny honey
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chipotle chili powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans and cilantro.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients and fold into the quinoa salad, adding a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Carefully fold in the feta, trying not to break it up too much. Check the seasoning and serve.
Notes
- This will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge, but is better and has more crunch on the day it is made. If you’re making this just to make ahead and not to eat on the day, add an extra 1/4 tsp of both cumin and chipotle chili powder as some of the flavor gets lost as it soaks into the quinoa.
