Cilantro Lime Protein Bowl


The husband and I completely demolished a huge bowl of this magical dish. It's so light and refreshing that it was just not destined to hit the Tupperware.
 
 
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup quinoa
2 medium tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 bell pepper
2 cans black beans, rinsed
1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon diced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cayenne pepper, fresh ground black pepper, and salt to taste.
(I would have totally tossed in some red onion, but it wouldn't be me if I didn't forget at least one vital ingredient)
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook quinoa per package instructions then chill.  Chop up all of the veg, juice the lime, then toss in oil/spices. Strain then rinse beans thoroughly.  Mix all ingredients together.  Nosh.
