Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad

INGREDIENTS

Cooked Quinoa
Canned Black Beans (Rinsed and Drained)
Chopped Romaine Lettuce
Chopped Tomato
Corn (I used Canned from Trader Joe's)
Salsa
Lemon Juice
Herbs: Pepper, Cilantro, Onion

DIRECTIONS

1. Cooked Quinoa: Anytime you make quinoa it is 1 part quinoa and 2 parts liquid. For example, when making 1 cup of dry quinoa, add 2 cups of liquid. I cook my quinoa in a rice cooker and leave it on for 20 minutes with the top on. Cooks perfectly with no mess.
2. Build Your Salad: Romaine lettuce, cooked quinoa, black beans, tomato, corn, two heaping spoonfuls of salsa, juice of 1 lemon, and herbs.
