Let’s talk about quinoa today. I love it and probably don’t share nearly enough recipes with it on my blog. The thing is, whenever I eat too much of something, I get really sick of it and then don’t make it for a while which I think is what has happened with me and quinoa. Don’t worry, we are working on getting our relationship back to what it was. Quinoa is such a versatile ingredient. It’s a great sub for rice, but I have also used it in baking, and it’s even better in a salad! You guys already know how much I love all things Mexican, tex-mex, southwestern (whatever you want to call it!)! I have been really obsessed with black beans lately. I just can’t get enough of them and I want to put them in everything!
This tex-mex quinoa salad is perfectly light, but it still going to fill you up. I tossed in some of my favorite ingredients to add more texture, flavor, and color and then topped it off with a lime vinaigrette dressing. This quinoa salad would be great to eat as a side dish at a summer party, but it also works well just on its own for lunches!
