Quick and Easy Mexican Confetti Quinoa Salad

Mexican Confetti Quinoa Salad

Here is a recipe for a delicious Fast and Easy salad/side dish that takes only a few minutes to whip up. I made this to accompany our veggie burgers and it was a hit with everyone! I used some left over quinoa which I make in big batches and then divide it up and refrigerate, so that I am able to use it throughout the week. I have had variations of this salad before, and was inspired one day by Trader Joe's Black Bean and Roasted Corn fresh salsa...

  Quick and Easy Mexican Quinoa Salad

3 C. cooked and chilled quinoa

1 can organic black beans

1 C.  corn organic (frozen or 1 -15 oz. can)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)

1/2  jalapeno pepper chopped (optional)

1 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro or to taste
1 tsp. sea salt

1 container Trader Joe's Black Bean and Roasted corn Fresh Salsa

Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss! It's as simple as that!
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, the longer the better!
