I needed to push the chocolate pie recipe off the front page, so here's a recipe from me that's a bit more healthy. ;)
Quinoa Black Bean Salad
2 cups of cooked quinoa
2 cups of cooked black beans (either from scratch or from a can)
1 cup of thawed frozen corn (organic is delish because it's so sweet!)
2 tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup or so chopped cilantro (I always add more because I love cilantro)
1 Tablespoons of olive oil
3 Tablespoons of lime juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Mix all ingredients well in a big bowl. Taste for flavor, I usually don't measure the "dressing" ingredients, so I just taste until it is right. You may need to add less or more salt depending on the beans you use. You could also add some diced cucumber too.
