2 cups of cooked quinoa, cooled
2 cups of cooked black beans (either from scratch or from a can)
1 cup of thawed frozen corn (organic is delish because it's so sweet!)
2 tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup or so chopped cilantro (I always add more because I love cilantro)
1 Tablespoons of olive oil
3 Tablespoons of lime juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Mix all ingredients well in a big bowl. Taste for flavor, I usually don't measure the "dressing" ingredients, so I just taste until it is right. You may need to add less or more salt depending on the beans you use. You could also add some diced cucumber too.

As you can see from the picture, I didn't put black beans in. I forgot until I sat down to eat and then decided to just forget it, it tasted just as yummy without them. The rest of the family had quesadillas with the salad, but I just had seconds. YUM! And lucky for me there are leftovers for lunch today.

Quinoa salad is one of my favorites. Ever try the red quinoa? I like it a lot.
