Prepare it on Sunday and enjoy for lunches all week.     [![ER-Health-Coach-Superfood-Quinoa-Salad-01](https://info.bluemarsh.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ER-Health-Coach-Superfood-Quinoa-Salad-01.png?width=499&name=ER-Health-Coach-Superfood-Quinoa-Salad-01.png)](https://www.elizabethrider.com/superfood-black-bean-quinoa-salad-recipe/)   ### INGREDIENTS - 2 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup dry quinoa yields about 2 cups cooked) - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 clove garlic, pressed, grated or finely chopped - Juice of one lime (about 2 tablespoons) - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat) - 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained well - 1 red bell pepper, quarter inch chopped (about 1 cup) - 6 green onions, root removed, white and part of the greens chopped (about 1 cup) - 1 handful of cilantro, rough chopped (about 1/3 cup) ### PREPARATION 1. Prepare the quinoa according to package directions. 2. While the quinoa is cooking, whisk the olive oil, cumin, garlic, lime, salt and cayenne (if using) together in the bottom of a large bowl to let the flavors marry while you chop the veggies. 3. Rinse and drain the black beans, then chop the veggies; the key is to make the peppers and onions about the same size as the beans. 4. Add the cooked quinoa, beans and veggies to the bowl and gently fold it all together with the dressing. The quinoa can be warm, room temp, or cold when you make the dish.  [Recipe From Elizabeth Rider](https://www.elizabethrider.com/superfood-black-bean-quinoa-salad-recipe/) Previous Post: [What's a Mastermind Group?
