QUINOA AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH SMOKY LIME DRESSING image

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quinoa (Inca Red from Ancient Harvest is my fave)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium teriyaki sauce or soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 small garlic clove, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the green onions, black-eyed peas, and cilantro. Puree the remaining ingredients together in a food processor; pour over quinoa and stir to coat with dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 4 - 6 servings.
