I love big, easy salads like this one. This quinoa salad with black beans and lime, has simple ingredients but is full of flavor. Made with quinoa, red pepper, black beans, parsley, lime juice, olive oil and parsley, this salad is high in protein, fiber and has “good carbs” you can feel good about eating. Once the quinoa is cooked it takes only a minute to assemble. 

Serve this salad with a protein to be a full meal.

I hope you enjoy this beautiful salad.

Gluten free, grain free, plant based, healthy carbs, no sugar or bad fats.
