Vegan Black Bean And Quinoa Salad Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Quinoa and black beans combine to make a vegetarian and vegan quinoa salad or pilaf recipe suitable as a lunch, salad or dinner entree. Quinoa and beans provide a healthy amount of protein, and fresh lime juice and cilantro add a mexican inspired flavor. Sweet corn kernels or perhaps chopped bell pepper would go well, if you'd like to add some more fresh veggies to this black bean salad, and a dash or two of hot sauce, minced chile pepper or cayenne would be a welcome addition if you like a bit of spice.
