½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup red onion, diced
½ cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
¼ avocado slices
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Avocado Dressing:
½ ripe avocado
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
¼ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp water (to thin as needed)
INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the Quinoa: In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add rinsed quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, drizzle with olive oil, and set aside.
Prepare the Black Bean Mixture: In a pan over medium heat, sauté red onion and bell pepper with olive oil for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened. Add black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Remove from heat and mix with cherry tomatoes.
Make the Avocado Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, olive oil, lime juice, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to reach desired consistency.
Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the black bean and vegetable mixture. Drizzle generously with avocado dressing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy!
