Take a pot and fill it with water. Salt the water with 1/2 teaspoon and start boiling it. Add the quinoa seeds and cook them for 10–15 minutes. Reduce the heat to a medium intensity. Prepare until the quinoa is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Afterwards, set it aside and let it cool for 10 minutes.
The canned beans have to be washed and rinsed throughly. Furthermore, chop the green onion into small pieces.
Cut your lime in half; each half should be squeezed until juice pours out of it. While doing this, take a glass and place it under the lime, so the juice falls into it.
The next step is to prepare a sauce for the salad. For that, you need: 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix everything in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared quinoa with the cut cherry tomatoes, beans, and green onion. Pour the sauce over everything and mix well. Season the salad with a pinch of salt and black pepper. After everything is done, enjoy the meal with a cup of orange juice or drink to your liking.
Here's how to make quinoa perfectly soft: as usual, add twice as much water to the quinoa and simmer it uncovered until it has absorbed all of the liquid.
Add some cilantro leaves to your salad for a more nutritious meal. These herbs reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
Bon Appetit!
