Ingredients

For the salad

•1 cup uncooked Red quinoa

•1 (14oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

•1 red pepper, chopped

•1/4 cup fresh Cilantro, finely chopped

•2 Green Onions, chopped

•1 can Mexicorn

•2 cups cubed butternut squash.

For the dressing

•4-5 tbsp of fresh lime juice (Juice from 2 small limes)

•1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste

•1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

•1 garlic clove, minced

•1/4 cup fresh Cilantro, finely chopped

• 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

•1/2 tsp ground cumin, or more to taste

I cut the olive oil from 1/4 cup to two TBSP and just added 2 TBSP chicken broth to cut calories. Also, her recipe had avacado instead of butternut squash but again I wanted to cut calories.
