8 servings

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 0.5 cup fresh lime juice, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water; drain.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir quinoa until water evaporates and quinoa is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until quinoa has absorbed broth, about 10 minutes. Cool quinoa in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
  • Mix together green bell pepper, red onion, corn, black beans, cilantro, tomato, lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning, and feta cheese in a large salad bowl.
  • Lightly stir in quinoa; season with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice to taste. Chill salad at least 30 minutes before serving; serve cold.
