Nutrition


I made this for lunch today.  Packed with protein and vitamins, this is a gluten free black bean, corn and quinoa salad.

Ingredients:
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can corn, rinsed
1.5 cups cooked quinoa (don't forget to rinse quinoa before you cook it - 1 cup quinoa into 2 cups water)
1/2 green, yellow and orange bell pepper, chopped
cilantro, chopped, to taste (I love cilantro so I put a lot into my salad)
Juice of 4 small limes
2-3 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Avocado
Directions : Mix the first five ingredients together in a bowl.  In a separate cup mix together lime juice, olive oil and spices.  Pour over salad.  Serve topped with avocado and more cilantro if you like.
