Southwest Quinoa Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish inspired by the bold flavors of Southwestern cuisine. This refreshing salad features protein-rich quinoa, black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, and creamy avocado, all tossed in a zesty lime-cilantro dressing. Often garnished with green onions and a sprinkle of chili powder, it delivers a delightful combination of smoky, tangy, and fresh flavors. This salad is an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, aiding in satiety and digestion. The variety of colorful vegetables provides vitamins, antioxidants, and essential minerals, while the avocado contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. While nutritious and gluten-free, those mindful of calorie intake might want to balance portions, as the avocado and oil-based dressing add to its fat content. Southwest Quinoa Salad is a wholesome, energizing choice for a light meal or side dish.
