  • 3/4 cup of chopped cucumber
  • 1 chopped red pepper

Instructions

  • You can use any dressing for this salad, but I love cilantro lime chili dressing.
  • First, chop up the cucumber, the red pepper, the cilantro and the red onion.
  • Cook the 2 cups of quinoa in your rice cooker with the 3 cups of warm water. Then, let it cool (I spoon it all out and put it in a bowl in the fridge for about 15 minutes). White beans? Check.
  • Mix everything in the bowl together. The, add the dressing.
  • Combine well. Done! Time for lunch? Yes, please.
