Quinoa & Black Bean Salad

I got this recipe from one of my supervisors at the clinic. It's super healthy and really yummy!

Salad Ingredients:
2 cups cook quinoa
1 cup drained and rinsed black beans
1 cup corn (defrosted if frozen)
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, small diced
1/4 cup Roma tomatoes, seeded/diced
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Dressing Ingredients:
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp rice or red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin, ground

Directions:
In large bowl, combine quinoa, beans, corn, pepper, onion, tomato, and cilantro.
In a small bowl or jar, combine dressing mixture. Pour over salad ingredients and stir to coat well.

Serving suggestions:
Eat it by itself as a side dish or on a bed of greens or in a whole wheat tortilla for a healthy meal.
