ZESTY QUINOA SALAD
This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

- Heat the water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, add the uncooked quinoa, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
- While the quinoa is cooking, prep the vegetables. Remove the stems from the kale and roughly chop to yield three packed cups. Add kale to a large mixing bowl, along with the diced bell pepper, diced onion, chopped cilantro, and drained black beans.
- Deseed and finely mince the jalapeño. Add to a small bowl with the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and crushed red pepper. Stir well to combine.
