Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled to room temperature)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, canned, or thawed)
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Dressing: 3 tbsp lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder, salt.

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
2. In a separate cup, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt.
3. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and stir well to combine all the flavors. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving so the quinoa absorbs the flavors.
