Fiesta Quinoa Salad

I love this! Mason jars are the ultimate MacGyver kitchen accessory. You can bake in it, you can preserve food in it, and now you can eat lunch out of it!

Veggies will stay fresh longer too!

Fiesta Quinoa Salad
½ cup water ¼ cup quinoa
1 teaspoon Wildtree Taco Seasoning Pinch of salt
½ cup canned diced tomatoes (with liquid)
2 tablespoons Wildtree Fiesta Salsa Mix ½ cup corn
¼ cup black beans
½ cup orange bell pepper
¼ cup shredded cheese

1 cup romaine, chopped

Combine the water and quinoa in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, until quinoa is tender and still chewy, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Once the quinoa has cooled mix in the Taco Seasoning, salt, diced tomatoes, and Fiesta Salsa Mix. Add this mixture to the bottom of 1 quart mason jar. Layer with bell pepper, corn, black beans, cheese and spinach. Seal the jar and refrigerate until you are ready to eat. Shake to mix up the ingredients when ready to eat.
