1 can of black beans (drained/rinsed) or 1 cup cooked dried beans
1 red pepper diced and seeded
1 sprig of green onion or chives (sliced)
1 tbsp of olive oil
1/4 of a lemon or lime juice
Salt/pepper to taste
Optional: parsley, fresh dill, thyme or basil chopped
Cook quinoa to package directions until light and fluffy. Cool the quinoa.
Add the other ingredients to the quinoa in a large bowl and mix. Serve chilled or warm.
Serve with grilled wild salmon, rainbow trout or fish of choice.
Note: The fresh herbs really bring out the flavour of this dish. Our faves are fresh dill and parsley.
Fish such as wild salmon is a healthy, high-protein food. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fats that our bodies don't produce on their own. Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease inflammation, reduce the risk of heart disease, helps maintain healthy joints and skin.
Beans pack a serious nutritional punch. They are loaded with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Beans may reduce inflammation, contribute to weight management, improve gut health, and keeps you full longer.
