Ingredients

1 cup quinoa ( dry)
15 ounce black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 cup corn (removed from cob or frozen)
1/2 medium onion (diced)
1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (chopped)
2 roma tomatoes (diced)

Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil
3 lime (squeezed)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

First, prepare the quinoa according to the package or the video I shared above.
In a small bowl combine the ingredients to make the dressing. Chop the cilantro up. Then, add the oil to the bowl first. Toss in the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, herbs, salt, cumin, black pepper and give everything a good mix.
When quinoa is finished cooking and ready to use add to a large bowl.
Add in black beans, corn, tomatoes, onion and pickled jalapeño. Give everything a good mix.
Lastly, pour over the dressing and mix well. Taste for salt and pepper. I didn't have to add extra but give it a taste first and see what you think.
