1/2 cup kidney beans
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup onions, chopped (or to taste)
3 cups Romaine salad mixed greens

1 clove garlic
2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1. Rinse quinoa in fine mesh strainer under running water. Drain well.

4. Mix the quinoa and the rest of the salad ingredients, except the greens, in a large bowl.

5. Process dressing in a blender or a food processor.
