A vibrant and nutritious salad featuring black beans, quinoa, and a tangy lime dressing.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it in a medium saucepan with water according to the package instructions.
Rinsing quinoa removes its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced red onion, and diced red bell pepper.
Let the quinoa cool slightly before mixing to avoid wilting the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Adjust the lime juice and seasoning to taste for a balanced flavor.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad gently to ensure even coating without mashing the ingredients.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the fridge for an hour to enhance the flavors.
