Quinoa, Lima Bean and Beet Salad
This is not really a recipe. This is intuitive. You toss it together to please your taste buds and give your tummy that happy, satisfied feeling. And we love that to be easy, right?
This salad was inspired by “Oh my gosh, Robert is here and I want to feed him something delicious and he is totally vegan.” And it turns out that everyone loves this salad.
Ingredients
1 cup of cooked quinoa (red or black) *Easy recipe
10 oz of cooked and cooled lima beans
Chopped cooked beets. I used fresh, however you could use canned. Be sure to drain them really well.
2 T Sesame Seed Oil.
Rice vinegar to taste
a pinch of sugar
This salad is beautiful.
Mix Sesame seed oil and rice vinegar in the bottom of the bowl.
Add lima beans and quinoa.
Garnish top with beets.
Day 2. Mix leftover bean salad with fresh greens. You may want to add more sesame seed oil and rice vinegar. Yummy!

The easiest way to cook quinoa:
Rinse one cup of red or black quinoa.
Put in a saucepan and add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Put on a lid and turn the stove off.
The quinoa will be perfect in about twenty minutes.
Quinoa is really handy to have in your refrigerator. It is a complete protein which you can easily add it to many things. I enjoy it beneath a fried egg, with a little cottage cheese in the morning.
