Quinoa
1 red bell pepper
1 small red onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
Avocados
Apple cider vinegar

Instructions:
Start by cooking your quinoa according to package instructions. I used 1/2 cup dry quinoa.
Then you’ll make the dressing. In a bowl add in 1/4 cup olive oil, handful of cilantro chopped, 1 tbs apple cider vinegar, juice of 1 lime, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and a pinch of salt then mix well.
Now time to assemble! To a large bowl add cooked quinoa, 1 can chickpeas, 1 can black beans, 1 can corn, 1 red bell pepper chopped, 1/2 chopped red onion, 1 pint cherry tomatoes chopped and your homemade dressing.
If meal prepping for lunches feel free to separate your portions into tupperware. I top mine with 1/2 avocado, some smoked paprika, and some hot sauce! Enjoy!
