BLACK BEAN & QUINOA SALAD WITH CILANTRO LIME VINAIGRETTE



Black Bean & Quinoa Salad With Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette image

I got this Recipe from "Fed up" on the Veria channel, by Andrea Beaman. It's very easy and actually really tasty! I love it. So healthy too, tons of fiber, and truly a healthy dish. Very filling, I eat it for lunch sometimes by itself. WW friendly.. I use organic ingredients The only difference is, I don;t use meat in it when I make it, she used cooked chopped chicken. I prefer it without, as I usaually pair it with a WW spiced tilapia recipe I found here on Zaar, and goat cheese and scallion stuffed cherry tomatoes, asparagus, or some other veggie.. Yum

Tips:

  • For the freshest flavor, use green beans that are young and tender. Look for beans that are bright green and have no blemishes.
  • To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • For the lime vinaigrette, use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. You can also add a bit of lime zest for extra citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have red quinoa, you can use regular quinoa or another type of grain, such as farro or barley.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the quinoa and green beans according to the recipe instructions. Let them cool completely, then store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, assemble the salad and toss with the lime vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

This green bean salad with lime vinaigrette and red quinoa is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The green beans are crisp and tender, the quinoa is fluffy and flavorful, and the lime vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor. This salad is also very versatile; you can add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or corn, or you can top it with grilled chicken or fish. No matter how you serve it, this salad is sure to be a hit!
