Detoxing Quinoa Salad

I love this recipe because not only does it have detoxing properties in it, but it is also delicious and most importantly, it's filling! 


Ingredients: 
1 cup of quinoa 
2 cups of vegetable broth 
1 cup of chopped carrots 
1 can of black beans 
1 cup of mini sweet bell peppers, seeded, and chopped 
1 cup of cherry tomatoes cut in half 
5 tablespoons of parsley 
5 tabplespoons of green onion 
1 cup of red onion 
salt and pepper 
1 tablespoon of minced garlic 
3 tablespoons of lime juice 
grapeseed oil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar


Directions: 
Follow package instructions for quinoa.  Sub water for vegetable broth.  
meanwhile, chop carrots, peppers, and the red onion and cook on stove top with a little bit of olive oil and minced garlic. 
Once soft, mix in black beans, green onion, lime juice, salt, pepper.  
Once cooked, mix in the quinoa and stir.  
Then, add in the parsley and tomatoes at the end.  
You may not need the balsamic but if you want a little more taste, go ahead and drizzle with balsamic. 
Season to taste!
