  • 1 cup dry (2.53 cups cooked) quinoa

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • STEPS

    1. Stovetop: I personally like to cook quinoa with a ratio of 1 cup dry quinoa to 1.5 cups water. Unlike most packages that state 1:2 ratio. Bring to a boil, cook on low for 12 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes and fluff. This way quinoa comes out less mushy. 
    2. Instant Pot: I’m obsessed with Instant Pot quinoa. It takes 30 seconds of prep and I walk away. Quinoa comes out fluffy and each grain separate after 9 minutes.
    3. While quinoa is cooking, chop the veggies.
    4. In a large salad bowl, add black beans, tomato, cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper.
    5. Fluff quinoa with a fork and add to the bowl.
    6. Stir gently to combine and serve cold or warm.
