Protein Packed Black Bean and Quinoa Salad
I recently discovered black beans and absolutely love them! I soak them overnight and then cook up a whole batch of them at once. I also cook half a bag of quinoa at the same time so it only takes me minutes to throw this delicious salad together. You can use it as the stuffing for a wrap - or both!
This is all you'll need:
- cooked black beans
- cooked quinoa
- handful of tomatoes
- handful of spinach (I like to cut it finely)
- handful of sweetcorn
- toasted sunflower seeds
- one avocado
- juice of half a lemon
- a drizzle of olive oil
- salt and pepper
- wholemeal tortilla wraps (optional)
Dice the tomatoes and avocado, squeeze the lemon juice, and throw everything together in a bowl. Give it a stir and enjoy!
This is also delicious with thinly sliced red or yellow pepper. If you try it, let me know what you think!
