Quinoa, Black Bean and Corn Superfood Salad

I know I have a slight biased with this salad but I seriously think this is one of the most flavorful and filling salads I’ve ever had. Gone are the days of feeling hungry after finishing a salad – this is almost like a black bean burger that you can eat with a fork! YUM!!

I definitely need to make this again soon!! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
