1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

Pinch of kosher salt

15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh corn, raw or charred

1 large avocado, chopped

1/2 cup diced red onion

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

Using a strainer, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Add quinoa, water, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes.

Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Let the quinoa cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, avocado, and red onion. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Drizzle with cilantro lime vinaigrette and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve!
