BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

• 1 cup cooked quinoa

• 1/2 cup frozen or fresh corn, thawed

• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

• 1 cup shredded chicken, cooked

• 4 Tbsp barbeque sauce of your choice

• 1 avocado, chopped

• 2 green onions, chopped

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Cilantro, as garnish

Cook quinoa according to package directions.  Note: I pre-cooked my chicken in a slow cooker the day before with chopped onion and some BBQ sauce - make sure to plan ahead.  

 

In a large bowl, mix together quinoa, corn, black beans, chicken and barbeque sauce.  Fold in avocado, green onions and season with salt and pepper.  Top with a bit of cilantro and enjoy!
