It has been awhile since I posted a recipe! I have so many to share with you that are just fantastic!
I made this sometime in August. This is how far behind I am with sharing recipes! This side dish was DELISH!
This one is adapted from The Closet Cooking:
Here is his recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup red quinoa ( I used regular quinoa)
2 cups water
1 cup black beans
1 ear corn (grilled and kernels cut from cob) ( I used Trader Joe's Roasted Corn)
1/2 red pepper (sliced)
1 jalapeno pepper (sliced)
1 green onion (sliced)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon oil
1 lime (juice)
1 chipotle in adobo sauce (chopped)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Simmer the quinoa in the water until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
2. Mix the quinoa, black beans, corn, red pepper, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
3. Mix the oil, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Toss the salad in the dressing.
This salad was so tasty and full of flavor. You can eat it as a meal or use it as a side dish with a variety of foods! it was even better the next day. I'm thinking that I will need to add this to this week's menu!
Happy Eating!
