How Do I Make Avocado and Black Bean Quinoa Salad?

Here is how you make Avocado and Black Bean Quinoa Salad:

Put quinoa in small pot and cover with water. Let it soak while you prepare the rest of your ingredients. Silce your avocado in half length-wise and twist it apart, remove the pit and cut fruit into 1/2 in cubes. Now is also the time to dice up your peppers, onions, and cilantro and to drain your black beans.After about 15 minutes of soaking, stir the quinoa and pour out the soak water. Now add a cup of water and, if you'd like, some lime juice and pinch of salt. Let this boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa, add remaining ingredients and some lemon pepper to taste. Enjoy! This can be made ahead of time and I think it actually tastes better once its been refrigerated a bit.Number of Servings: 3Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CRUSHINDIOR.
