Southwest Quinoa Salad with Sweet & Spicy Honey-Lime Dressing

Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside to cool. Remember to rinse quinoa prior to cooking.

While quinoa is cooking, drain and rinse beans and thaw corn. Chop and prepare red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, tomato, onion, green onion, avocado, and cilantro.

Once quinoa is cool, combine with beans, corn, veggies, and cheese in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare dressing by combining lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Pour dressing over quinoa and veggies mixture and stir to combine. Spoon into serving bowl. 1 serving equals roughly 1 cup.
