How to Make Fiesta Quinoa Salad

Ready to make your own Fiesta Quinoa Salad? It’s as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. First, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Then, cook it by boiling 2 cups of water in a pot, adding the quinoa, and simmering it for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Once done, fluff it up with a fork and let it cool down for a few minutes.

2. While the quinoa is cooking, dice up your red bell pepper, chop your cilantro, and slice the avocado. This is your time to get creative—feel free to add in extra veggies if you like!

3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, corn, black beans, red bell pepper, avocado, and cilantro.
