- Simple and delicious would describe this Zesty Quinoa Bean Salad. You will find yourself making this to take to all your potlucks and workplace shared meals as well as part of your weekly batch cooking. One of the things that makes this salad special is that it can be enjoyed either hot or cold. I like it both ways equally. It's such a beautiful salad as well - visually pleasing food is always a bonus!
Zesty Quinoa Bean Salad
Salad
• 2 cups quinoa - rinsed
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 red bell peppers, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 1/2 cups corn - frozen, thawed
Dressing
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 3 tablespoons no salt added mustard
• Zest of 1-2 limes
In an Instant pot electric pressure cooker add the rinsed and drained quinoa with 2 1/2 cups water. Put the lid on making sure the sealing vent is in the sealing position. Set time for 5 minutes at high pressure and let it come down using natural pressure release. When it is done, fluff with a fork.
Add the quinoa and the rest of the salad ingredients to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
In a measuring cup mix together the lime juice, salt and lime zest. Pour over the prepared salad and stir until well combined. This can be eaten hot or cold. Refrigerate the leftovers. It can be reheated to serve it warm. Serve it cold over a bed of greens or over a Big Beautiful Chopped Salad.

I do believe I found what I'm taking to this month's potluck! Thank you Tami :)
Would you please share a link to the glass bowl you used? I don't see it on your affiliate page ~ Thanks!

The size of bowl we used in the video isn't currently available. It is like this one but 6.25 QT amzn.to/2REAIu0
me too lol I have a potluck this week
I have corn from our garden that has been blanched & frozen. Do I cook it before adding to this salad?
Really no need to cook it.
Please tell us which glass bowl on Amazon. I couldn’t find it. And what mat are you using to cut your vegetables?
When we went on Amazon to link to it we discovered that it currently isn't available in the size we used. It is like this one but the one we used in the video is a 6.25 QT. amzn.to/2REAIu0
hi Tami, when you refer to mustard are you indicating digon mustard
Is there a link for the clear bowl with carrying lid?
i am new to your videos, fb page, and we site. i am a big fan. your recipes are so doable and foods that i would eat. thank you so much. do you have a recipe book?
That is so nice of you to say! I don't have a recipe book yet. I do have an online cooking webinar that you can purchase here is a link all about it. www.nutmegnotebook.com/posts/mexican-fiesta-cooking-class-video-with-10-recipes/
Usually use my rice cooker for quinoa. Looking forward. You say 5 min in video, but 4 in directions. Which do you prefer? Thanks. Also, GFS quinoa is also pre-rinsed.
That was a typo - thanks for catching that it should be 5 minutes. I will fix it on the recipe. Happy Cooking!
Are the prices on your Amazon page more than Amazons? It seems your Instant pot was about 20 more than they had it listed.
No, all pricing is Amazon's , we have no input or control over that. Please make sure you are on our amazon.com/shop/nutmegnotebook page and not amazon.ca/shop/nutmegnotebook (Canada) as their pricing is in Canadian dollars. always a higer number than US dollars.
Happy Cooking

hallo can you cook 3 litres in this one ore can it holdt 3 litres love your chanel i am from Denmark
Yes you can!.. it is 6 quarts 1 quart = .95 Litre
How many fresh limes do you suggest for 1/2 cup juice?
Hard to say as it depends on the size of the limes and how juicy they are. Usually you get about 2 T of juice from 1 lime but sometimes less sometimes more.
You think I could use lemon juice? I’m making quinoa but don’t have lime. :-/
Lemon juice would be fine - it's not as sweet as lime juice so maybe start with a smaller amount and taste test it. Please subscribe to this channel and our blog for tons more recipes and tips. www.nutmegnotebook.com
I don't see the link to the bowl
Hello Tawana, You are right, it's not there, When we went to list it, they were out of stock :-( but....of that same brand you will find a smaller 3.75 qt on our www.amazon.com/shop/nutmegnotebook page. If you are wanting to take some of the quinoa salad to a group event it would have a lid and display well in that but it would be to small for the mixing of ingredients. We are waiting for a notification when the 6.25 qt that we have will become available again. We like these because they have the snap on lid. There is an OXO Glass Bowl that is 4.5 qt. that might work better so far as size goes but it does not have a lid. Here is the link amzn.to/2VkKnV2
Be sure you are subscribed to the blog and follow Nutmeg Notebook on Facebook, I will probably do a quick note when this bowl shows up again.
Happy Cooking
Tami
I wish Nutmeg was my neighbor,
Aaaah - thank you!
