Southwestern Flair Quinoa Salad


Okay, time to get real, ya'll. This quinoa salad is inspired by a Publix recipe, and it is SO SO SO SO delicious. Did I mention it is delicious? It is a great make-ahead meal; I make this on Sunday and eat it for dinner the entire week.

Ingredients:

-1/2 red onion chopped
-1 cup of shredded carrots
-2 cups of spinach or kale
-1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
-1 cup cooked quinoa
-3 to 4 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
-1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

What to Do:

  1. Cook quinoa according to directions on box. 
  2. In a large bowl, combine everything together and mix throughly.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
