    0.25 piece

  • Lemon juice

  • Cherry tomatoes

    4 piece

  • Corn

    2 Tbsp

  • Tofu

    1 Tbsp

  • Vegetable oil

    2 Tbsp

Cooking

step-0
Soak the beans for 2-3 hours, then boil until tender in slightly salted water. The cooking time indicated without taking into account the preparation of the beans.
step-1
To prepare quinoa : rinse thoroughly in cool running water to get rid of light bitterness
step-2
Pour quinoa and water, salt and bring to a boil. Next, close the lid and leave for 15 minutes on a hot plate over very low heat. Once the quinoa absorbs the water to cool to room temperature. The taste of cooked quinoa resembles millet, but in a salad the taste is lost.
step-3
Finely chop the onion and pour the lemon juice, let stand.
step-4
Mix the prepared beans (I think canned would also work), corn, cut cube, tomato, hot pepper - remove seeds if you don't like it very spicy.
step-5
Add the cooled quinoa and shredded cheese, greens, season with vegetable oil. Taste for salt, it seemed to me that instead of salt it is better to add a bit of soy sauce.
