Black Bean, Tomato and Quinoa Salad - Adapted from Epicurious
We had French Dip Sand-witches with some left over roast beef and served this salad with them. For those unfamiliar with Quinoa, it is a grain high in protein and fiber with a unique taste. Try it if you havent. Chop 1 tomato and a small onion and mix with your favorite herb. The recipe calls for cilantro but we didnt have any so used rosemary. Make a dressing by mixing 1/4C olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1t lime zest, salt and pepper to taste. Cook the quinoa according to package directions. We used 1/2C dry and it served 2 generously. Drain the quinoa and mix with a 14 oz. can of drained and rinsed black beans (we warmed the beans before mixing) and the tomato and onion. Toss with the dressing. Delicious warm or cold.
