Easy Quinoa and Black Bean Salad

I have had an interesting few months and I am ready to drop some weight. So, it is back to eating as healthy as I can and remembering why it feels so good.

Here is the recipe I had for dinner tonight.

1.5-2 cups cooked quinoa
1 can black beans (drained)
1 cup canned corn (drained) or frozen corn(cooked)
1/4 c. olive oil
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbs chili powder
1 tbsp garlic salt

Directions
1. cook and cool quinoa (or use leftover)
2. Add black beans, corn, oil, vinegar, chili powder, and garlic salt
3. Mix well.
4. Serve chilled.


That's it. I thought it was good. I will have it for lunch tomorrow. :-)  Any new ideas for simple, healthy meals?

I did get a lot of my garden planted. So, away we go!
