A few days ago I did some grocery shopping at a local Whole Foods-esque supermarket. I always have to walk through the hot bar area, even if I’m not going to get anything from it, just to see what they have. This time I came across this gem – Roasted Corn & Black Bean Salad, snapped a quick pic to remember it and started planning on how I can make it even better.
Since I’ve been on a quinoa kick lately so it was only natural that I included some in this recipe to create Southwestern Black Bean Quinoa Salad. Holy Moly people! This stuff is addicting!
Southwestern Black Bean Quinoa Salad
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups veggie stock
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- salt and pepper to taste
Pour veggie stock into a large pot and add quinoa. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let simmer until quinoa is light and fluffy. Drain and rinse can of black beans. Combine beans, corn, diced onion and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooled quinoa, lime juice, vinegar and sriracha and mix to combine the flavors.

I guarantee that you will not be able to keep yourself from reaching for more spoonfuls of this salad and it is perfect for your 4th of July BBQ! Needless to say, there were no leftovers after out Sunday BBQ, we all could not get enough.
What’s your favorite way to prepare quinoa? What’s your favorite BBQ side-dish?
Yum! I love that you used Sriracha, I never would have thought to throw that into a Southwestern dish, but I LOVE it so maybe I’ll use it more!
That looks fabulous! I have never made quinoa, I am so intimidated by the kitchen but I may be able to boil water – so I will give this a try!

Hello can u tell me if you cooked the corn,onion,pepper and crn as well! Thanks so much!
Hi, i made this today and it was good. i didn’t have srirachi (or any other hot sauce) so i used chili pepper. I also added some fresh parsley to give it a real fresh flavor. This is a great basic recipe that can be experimented with. Thank you for sharing:-)
I came across this recipe from Pinterest and brought it to a BBQ. Everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe! I added cilantro otherwise kept it the same as the recipe states. Even the guys who said they didn’t like quinoa ate it up! I am making it for the teachers at my boys’ school for their teacher appreciation luncheon. Thanks for a great recipe!
Yay! I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.
I never write reviews, but I just had to write one for this recipe. I have brought it along to most of the BBQ’s we’ve been to this summer as a side dish and everyone just raves about it!! We went to one BBQ with over 50 people and I seriously had at least 20 people come ask for the recipe. Do not be scared of the sriracha sauce-it’s just enough to add a kick but not be too spicy. I do everything as it states, but I add about 1/4 C of cilantro. The green adds an extra splash of color and a punch to the southwestern flavor. I love making a big batch to have for lunches for the week with some grilled chicken on the side. Awesome recipe!!!

First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!
