Cook

In a medium sauce pan, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Place cooked quinoa in a large bowl to cool. See note 1 for Instant Pot instructions.

While the quinoa is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans, then prepare the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, green onion, and cilantro.

Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar.

Combine

Add the vegetables, cilantro and black beans to the large bowl with the quinoa, then pour the dressing on top and stir until well combined.

Marinate

If you have time: let the salad marinate for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavours blend. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days.
