Zesty Quinoa Salad

Because we like to save the big guns for dinner!

Recipe Summary Zesty Quinoa Salad

This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

  • 5 green onions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Directions

  • Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk olive oil, lime juice, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.
  • Combine quinoa, tomatoes, black beans, and green onions together in a bowl. Pour dressing over quinoa mixture; toss to coat. Stir in cilantro; season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator.
  • This salad tastes great right away, and even better the next day when all the flavors have had the chance to marry. Enjoy!
  • You can also steam the quinoa instead of boiling if desired.
