Quinoa Salad on the Go

I've never had quinoa or at least I don't think I have, but this salad looks interesting.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 1½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• ½ cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp. Cilantro or Lime Vinaigrette preferred dressing
• ¼ cup red pepper, chopped using Chop ’N Prep Chef
• ¼ cup green pepper, chopped using Chop ’N Prep Chef
• ½ cup black beans canned, drained
• 2 cups spinach

Instructions:

Combine quinoa, vegetable broth and orange juice in Microwave Rice Maker. 

Replace cover and microwave on high power 15–18 minutes. 

Fluff with a fork and chill in refrigerator.

Layer (bottom to top): 

• dressing
• peppers
• black beans 
• ½ cup chilled quinoa 
• spinach

Securely seal container. 

Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, shake Quick Shake® Container until all ingredients are combined. 

Pour into bowl and serve.

You will only be using 1/4 of the prepared Quinoa, so you can make more of these for lunch/dinner or use the quinoa for another recipe.
