Ingredients

1 can Black Beans drained

1 tomato diced

1/2 cucumber sliced in half or fours--sometimes I put the whole cucumber

parsley

cilantro

avocado (optional- i never put it in)

1 cup Quinoa

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1/4 cup basalmic vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

1 garlic clove

2 green onions

red chili ( crushed red) a splash of it for the dressing

Directions

Boil 1 cup Quinoa with 2 cups water and salt for 15 minutes. The water will evaporate or be absorbed kind of like stuffing. Fluff and let cool.

In the meantime, put the black beans, tomato, and cucumber in to a serving bowl. Chop parsley and cilantro well and add to the bowl (you may want a lot or a little it is up to you), about 5 sprigs or more of each.

To make the dressing put the green onions, garlic clove, red chili, 3 parsley sprigs, 3 cilantro sprigs, 1 tbsp of dijon mustard into the food processor and process. Then add the basalmic and olive oil and process until mixed together well.

Once the Quinoa is done cooking and cooled dump into the bowl and add the dressing. Stir it all together and if you would like avocado I would add it now ( to avoid it getting mooshy. Enjoy!

I have also added a jalepeno to the dressing before with the seeds removed. This is optional.

This looks great. I'm interested in healthy, less processed dishes and I love quinoa. I think the combo with the black beans makes for a great summer salad. I'll definitely be trying this when (if!) the weather decides to warm up again.
