Bbq Chicken Quinoa Salad

• 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup fresh corn, cut from the cob
• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup shredded BBQ chicken (can use a store bought chicken and toss with a little BBQ sauce)
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 3-4 tablespoons White Cheddar cheese, shredded

BBQ sauce

• 2 scallions, chopped

cilantro for garnish

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

This recipe calls for already cooked chicken so plan ahead! I prefer to cook my chicken in the crockpot, using 6 chicken thighs, 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.
