About Black bean and quinoa salad

Black Bean and Quinoa Salad is a protein-packed, nutrient-dense dish originating from Latin-inspired cuisine. This vibrant salad combines fluffy quinoa, black beans, sweet corn, diced bell peppers, red onion, and fresh cilantro, all tossed in a zesty lime and olive oil dressing. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber from the black beans and quinoa, it supports digestion and helps promote satiety. Quinoa provides essential amino acids, while the colorful vegetables add vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The olive oil and lime dressing contribute healthy fats and a refreshing tang, boosting overall flavor. This salad is naturally gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and can function as a nutritious main course or a hearty side dish. While relatively low in calories, mindful portions are recommended if paired with additional fatty dressings or toppings. Black Bean and Quinoa Salad is a wholesome, versatile choice for health-conscious eaters.
