Ingredients

• 150g of #QuintaQuinoa
• 1 tomato
• 1 yellow pepper
• 150g of black cooked beans
• 150g of corn

3. Meanwhile, chop the pepper and jalapeno if you want some (without veins or seeds) and stir fry it with olive oil for 10 minutes.
4. Add the beans and the corn. Cook it for 5 minutes and add salt, black pepper and finally, the quinoa mixture.
5. Mix, simmer for 5 more minutes and take it out of the fire.
6. Let it cool and serve it with some olive oil.
7. You can add the jalapeño if you’d like to taste some spice on your salad.

The best thing about this recipe is not how easy it is to make but also how nutritious and healthy it is.
