Garlic, edamame and quinoa salad

Delicious garlic-infused edamame and quinoa salad bursting with flavor and texture, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal option.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup cooked corn kernels
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions:

1. Wash the quinoa by rinsing it in a bowl with water three times, gently massaging the grains and allowing them to settle before pouring out the water. If the quinoa doesn't settle, use a large fine-mesh sieve to drain it after each rinse.
2. Boil the quinoa in a saucepan with well-salted water until it's soft, which should take around 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the quinoa thoroughly using a sieve.
3. While the quinoa is cooking, mix the onions, jalapeño, olive oil, lime juice, and cumin in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Add the cooked quinoa to the mixture, then incorporate the black beans, corn, and cilantro. Gently toss everything together. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
