Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup tri-color quinoa
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, green), chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.

  3. While quinoa cooks, chop cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion.
  4. In a large bowl, mix cooked quinoa with black beans, chopped vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. Stir until well combined.
  5. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavors before serving.

Notes

  • For added sweetness, consider tossing in roasted corn or swapping black beans for chickpeas.
  •  This dish can be served warm or cold and makes an excellent meal prep option!
