Quinoa and Pico Salad

  • 4 cups cooked quinoa
  • ¾ cups canned black beans
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn (thawed or grilled and removed from cob)
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro*
  • 2 limes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Juice the two limes. Whisk the lime juice with olive oil and salt. Mix quinoa with black beans, corn, tomato, onion and cilantro, and pour juice over all. Mix well, and chill overnight.

*I never include cilantro, because we are among those who think it tastes the way laundry soap smells. You can put in parsley or substitute some finely diced green bell pepper for color.
