Ingredients
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup canned black beans
1/2 cup canned sweet corn kernels
12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 red onion, chopped
3-4 mini sweet bell peppers, sliced in rings
2 Tbsp Brianna's Blush Wine vinagrette

Drain the black beans and rinse them well before adding into the salad. Drain the corn too. I cut cherry tomatoes in quarters but if using grape tomatoes I only halve them.

This makes a delicious lunch, side dish or snack and is 197 calories per serving with 33.7g carb, 3.5g fat, and 7.8g protein.

I hope if you try this you leave your feedback on how you liked/disliked it. I also hope if you have any favorite recipes that you would share them.

Happy Eats! <3

    That sounds delicious! I just made portobello mushroom sandwiches the other day and they turned out amazing! Here's the recipe I used:

    Sounds good! I make something similar with edamame rather than quinoa. A little feta cheese tops it off!
