Quinoa Salad

This is such a great salad to make ahead and have on hand for a snack, lunch or dinner. It is light, a complete protein and a good dose of fiber and makes it easy to get in your fresh veggies during the day. Serve chilled.

1 cup quinoa, uncooked (FS)

1 zuchini, sliced and quartered

1 sweet yellow bell pepper

1 large ripe tomato

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (FS)

1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce (FS)

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup parmesan cheese (FS)

Green tabasco (opt.)



Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa, cover and cook for 15-18 minutes over low heat. Let cool while chopping veggies.

Put all ingredients in a bowl. Season with parmesan cheese, sea salt and pepper to taste. Add tabasco to individual servings if desired.
