Quinoa Salad

I recently made this and was a HUGE fan! The kids liked it too! It might have been because I told them that quinoa is a super food! Kind of thinking they took that as giving them super hero abilities, but whatever! I found this recipe on Marci's blog and modified just a little.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of quinoa (cooked according to package directions will yield 2 cups)
chopped cucumber
chopped red onion (1/2)
1 can of shoepeg corn
2 avocados - diced
1 can of black beans - rinsed
dash of Kosher salt
chopped cilantro (handful)
approximate 6 Tbsp of olive oil
2 Tbsp of white wine vinegar

*you could also chop up some tomatoes and add feta cheese

Combine and enjoy! I served with grilled chicken and it was awesome!
