Quinoa Protein Salad

SERVINGS: 10  RECIPE BY: MAUREEN ABOOD

Consider this salad a great idea you can play with. In the summer, cut fresh sweet corn straight from the cob, no cooking required. I like to use Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo kidney beans, cooked in advance and chilled, but a can of cooked beans of any kind is swift. The original salad calls for a bit of brown rice; I don’t include that, but you can. Fresh herbs are key to the bright flavor here. I always use cilantro and mint, sometimes basil too. Be absolutely sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking, to avoid bitterness.
