Quinoa Salad with Rajma & Sweet Corn

Ingredients:


  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth

  • 400g Rajma (kidney beans), drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cucumber, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped

  • Juice of 1–2 limes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:



  1. Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under running water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, Rajma, sweet corn, chopped red onion, chopped cucumber, and chopped coriander.

  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
