I love simplicity on a weeknight. And though the plethora of ingredients in this recipe may lead you to believe that it’s complicated, it’s not! You cook the quinoa and simply stir everything else in. Voilà!
1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. When boiling, adjust the heat to medium, add the quinoa, and cook (uncovered) for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed. After 15 minutes, cover the pot and turn off the heat; let the quinoa sit and steam for 10 minutes.
2. Hard-boil the egg.
3. Dice up the tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, avocado (sprinkle the pieces with lemon juice to avoid browning), and cilantro. Drain and rinse the black beans, and drain the corn.
4. Zest and juice the lime, and whisk the zest and juice with the salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, and butter to form a dressing.
5. Once the quinoa is done, mix everything together and warm over low heat if desired.
6. You can eat this dish hot or cold. Sprinkle with feta if desired. Enjoy!
