Salad with Quinoa and Beans

On another blog, I got the idea to put quinoa in salad so I changed the recipe to make it my own.

mixed greens

1/4 cup quinoa

black beans

half grape tomatoes

sliced cucumber

chopped onions

drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper

Salsa

5 cups cored chopped tomatoes (I leave the skin on)

2 cups chopped green pepper (I added one chili pepper)

2 cups chopped onion

1/2 cup vinegar

lime juice

minced garlic

chili powder

garlic salt

basil

parsley

salt

pepper

I mix it all together and put in jars. I did not cook or process the jars to be canned. We just store in the fridge and eat right away. Yummy.
