Southwestern Quinoa with Chili-Lime Dressing
by donnakate
Original recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of lime juice. I like a lot of lime juice, so I usually use the juice of 5 to 6 limes. Black quinoa is difficult to find so I substitute with white quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
- Few Grinds Freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 3 Tsp Honey
- 2 Cups Black Quinoa ; Cooked
- 1 Can Black beans
- 2 Each Plum tomatoes ; Seeded and chopped
- 1 Cup Corn kernels ; Fresh or frozen
- 2 Each Scallions ; White and green parts sliced
- 1/2 Cup Red bell pepper ; Chopped
- 1/4 Cup Red onion ; Chopped
- 1/2 Cup Cilantro, loosely packed ; Chop coarsely
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, and honey until emulsified. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl along with the dressing and gently fold together until well mixed and evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
NOTES
Try adding other veggies, such as raw zucchini.
Try topping with sliced avocado.
Add a protein, such as chicken, shrimp or tofu, to make a complete meal.
