Ingredients
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Finely diced onion
- Fluffy quinoa, washed
- Fragrant vegetable broth
- Drained black beans from a can
- Juicy, diced tomato
- Vibrant yellow bell pepper pieces
- Diced avocado chunks
- Dressing:
- Handful of freshly chopped cilantro
- Freshly squeezed lime juice
- Olive oil for a rich taste
- Creamy Greek yogurt
- Chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce, with a bit of the sauce
- Sweet honey for a touch of sweetness
- A pinch of ground cumin
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking
Step 1
Begin by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook the onion in the fragrant oil until it turns soft and translucent, a process that typically takes about 5 minutes. Next, introduce the quinoa to the onion mixture and continue to sauté until the grains are lightly toasted and release a delightful aroma, which usually takes around 2 minutes.
Step 2
Now, it's time to add the broth to the quinoa. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil before reducing the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer until all the liquid is completely absorbed, usually for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the dish. In a separate bowl, combine the black beans, diced tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, and creamy avocado pieces.
Step 4
For the zesty dressing, blend together fresh cilantro, tangy lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Greek yogurt, a spicy chipotle pepper, a tablespoon of reserved adobo sauce, sweet honey, aromatic cumin, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a blender until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Once the dressing is ready, pour it over the black bean mixture and toss in the cooked quinoa, ensuring everything is evenly coated. This vibrant and flavorful dish is now ready to be enjoyed!
