BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad


BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded BBQ chicken
1 avocado, chopped
2 tablespoons White Cheddar cheese, shredded
2-4 tablespoons BBQ sauce
2 scallions, chopped
cilantro for garnish

1. In a large bowl, toss together the quinoa, corn, black beans, chicken and avocado. Season with salt and pepper
2. Transfer mixture onto a bowl and top with shredded cheese, BBQ sauce, scallions and cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature

*I'm not a fan of quinoa but this is delicious! I ran out of time to make bbq chicken and just used normal chicken and it was still really good.
*I think it tastes better warm

  1. We really liked this! I left the corn out and served it with corn on the cob and green salad. I also used half brown rice/half quinoa (to make my quinoa go further and I like the flavor of the 2 mixed). I also used sharp cheddar cheese. Healthy and good!
