There is nothing I love more than a big bowl of fresh vegetables. Especially when it’s an easy throw together kind of dish that can last you a few days. This is one of my favourite go to recipes, as it keeps for several days and can be used in a variety of ways.  I particularly enjoy this spicy lime quinoa salad on its own, stuffed in an avocado, tossed on a bed of greens, or as a side to grilled fish. You can really enjoy it however you please, as it is so versatile. Here’s the dish-

Spicy Lime Quinoa Salad

• 1 19 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 a red onion, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 3 stalks of celery, diced
• 3 carrots, shredded
• 1 cup corn (I prefer straight off the cob, but frozen or canned will do)
• 1.5 cups cooked quinoa
• handful of chopped cilantro

Spicy Lime Vinaigrette:

• 3 limes, juiced
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• dash of cayenne, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and sugar

Combine diced vegetables, beans, and quinoa in a large bowl. Drizzle with the spicy lime vinaigrette  and toss until evenly mixed.
