As summer creeps up to an end, I’m doing all I can to preserve every last minute of it!

This salad is everything to me right now. I make a batch of it and then pack it into individual containers for quick easy on-the-go lunches.

Since this can be served warm or cold (I actually prefer cold), this can be taken anywhere, including the beach!

You could even serve this with some tortilla chips if you wanted, it’s so versatile!

This is so easy to make too, it comes together in about 15 minutes!

Start by cooking the Quinoa first, then while that’s cooking chop up the rest of this salad.

Depending on what brand of Quinoa you use will depend on cook time. I prefer Ancient Harvest brand which can be cooked in 15 minutes. Plus it’s Organic and there’s no rinsing required! You can find this brand in most grocery stores.

Once the Quinoa is cooked, add it to the bowl along with:

  • Corn
  • Black Beans
  • Red Pepper
  • Shallots
  • Cilantro
  • Lime Juice
  • Avocado Oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Pepper

Give everything a good toss until all of the flavors have blended together.

Then proceed to chow down on this deliciousness!

If you’re looking for something to pair this with, try my New York Strip Steak with Blue Cheese Butter or a Grilled Ribeye Steak!
