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

3-BEAN GOOD LUCK SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE



3-Bean Good Luck Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

This is a colorful variation of the black-eyed peas salad I always serve at my New Year's Day open house. You can cook the black beans and red beans together or separately. The black-eyed peas cook more quickly so should be cooked separately.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup dried black beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
3/4 cup dried red beans or kidney beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
2 onions, halved
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
3/4 cup black-eyed peas, washed and picked over
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons lightly toasted cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup broth from the beans
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the black beans. Add enough water to the soaking water to measure 6 cups. Drain the red beans and discard the soaking water. Combine the black and red beans, water, all but 1/2 onion, and 3 of the garlic cloves in a large, heavy pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste (beans take a lot of salt) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the onions. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth.
  • Meanwhile in a separate pot combine the black-eyed peas, remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove, the bay leaf and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the bay leaf and onion. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth and add to the black and red bean broth.
  • In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Combine all of the beans in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Taste and adjust salt. At this point the mixture can be refrigerated, or the salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Stir the peppers and cilantro into the beans and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, take a few minutes to prep your ingredients. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Rinse your quinoa thoroughly: Quinoa has a natural coating called saponin which can give it a bitter taste. Rinsing the quinoa thoroughly before cooking will remove the saponin and ensure that your quinoa is fluffy and delicious.
  • Cook your quinoa according to the package directions: Quinoa is a very versatile grain and can be cooked in a variety of ways. However, it's important to follow the package directions for the best results.
  • Let your quinoa cool before assembling the salad: Once your quinoa is cooked, let it cool slightly before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the cumin vinaigrette: The cumin vinaigrette is a delicious addition to this salad, but it's important to use a light hand. Too much vinaigrette can overpower the other flavors in the salad.

Conclusion:

This quinoa, pea, and black bean salad is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it's also very easy to make. The cumin vinaigrette adds a delicious and unique flavor to the salad, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this one a try!
