Quinoa-and-Bean Salad

  • one 20 oz can kidney beans
  • 2 Cups cooked and cooled quinoa (3/4 .c raw)
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 bunches basil, stems discarded and leaves chopped. I use one if it’s a large bunch.
  • juice of 2 lemons…ours are larger than store bought so I use one
  • 1/2 Cup extra-virgin olive oil…..I use a little less.
In a large bowl, mix together the kidney beans, quinoa, onion and basil.  In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil.
season with salt and pepper.  Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to coat evenly.  Serves 4. I could eat it for a meal though.
