Ingredients
- Salad:
- A can of black beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounces)
- Cooked quinoa (1 ½ cups)
- Frozen corn (1 cup)
- Diced red bell pepper (1 piece)
- Chopped green onion (½ cup)
- Finely chopped cilantro (½ cup), with extra for garnish
- Minced garlic (1 teaspoon)
- Dressing:
- Olive oil (½ cup)
- Juice of a lime (1 piece)
- Honey (2 tablespoons)
- Chopped pickled jalapeno pepper slices (6 pieces)
- Dry mustard (¼ teaspoon)
- Paprika (¼ teaspoon)
Step 1
Combine the earthy black beans, fluffy quinoa, sweet corn, vibrant red bell pepper, fresh green onion, fragrant cilantro, and zesty garlic in a spacious bowl. In another bowl, blend the robust olive oil, tangy lime juice, sweet honey, spicy jalapeno, pungent mustard, and smoky paprika until the dressing achieves a velvety consistency. Drizzle this flavorful dressing over the quinoa medley and gently mix until every grain is coated in the delightful mixture. Sprinkle some additional cilantro on top for a burst of freshness and color. Enjoy this vibrant and nutritious dish!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep it cool: Store your cooked quinoa in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and ready to use in your South-of-the-Border Quinoa Salad.
- 2. Freeze for later: If you have leftover quinoa that you won't be using right away, consider freezing it in individual portions for quick and easy meal prep in the future.
