BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

I recently discovered quinoa and I love it! This recipe looks awesome!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
3. Serve warm or at room temperature

Notes

*Note: this recipe calls for already cooked chicken so plan ahead! I prefer tocook my chicken in the crockpot, using 6 chicken thigh, 1 white onion sliced and 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. I cook on low for about 6-7 hours and then shred and refrigerate for later.
