Description

An extremely yummy, spicy, Mexican quinoa salad that will keep in the fridge for up to a week! My kids in university love packing this up for their lunch. You have everything you need for a very healthy meal in one dish! Substitute barley for the brown rice if desired. Turtle beans can be substituted for kidney beans.

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
