Zesty Black Bean & Corn Quinoa Bowl

How to make it

1. 1

   First things first, get your quinoa cooked and cooled. If you are making it fresh, use 1 cup of uncooked quinoa following package directions to yield about 3 cups cooked.

2. 2

   While the quinoa cools, prepare your other lovely ingredients. Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly, drain any liquid from canned corn (if using), and finely dice your red bell pepper.

3. 3

   In a roomy mixing bowl, gently combine the cooled cooked quinoa, the prepared black beans, the sweet corn, and the diced red bell pepper.

4. 4

   Now for the magic! Squeeze all the fresh juice from your large lime directly over the bowl. Add a generous pinch of salt and a little grind of black pepper, to your own taste.

5. 5

   Give everything a good, gentle toss until all those beautiful colors are mixed and every ingredient is glistening with that zesty lime dressing. Serve up and enjoy!
