HONEY MUSTARD MARINATED CHICKEN TENDERS
The original recipe, found on MyRecipes.com, calls for pork tenderloins. Chicken tenders are on currently on sale at Sunset Food's and this marinade is perfect for chicken and pork. I didn't have time to marinade our tenders(like 15 minutes!) for very long tonight and it was still delicious. Thinning the marinade with a little more oil and vinegar, would make a great honey mustard vinaigrette for salads.
BLACK BEAN QUINOA SALAD
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup cooked corn
1 cup finely chopped red or yellow pepper
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Lime Dressing
1/3 cup fresh lime juice, from about 5 limes
1 teaspoons salt, to taste
2 tablespoons ground cumin
5 tablespoons olive oil
Rinse and drain quinoa with a fine strainer and place in a rice cooker. Fill cooker to the "2 cup line" for white rice. Cook on white rice setting and fluff when finished cooking. While quinoa is cooking, in a large bowl toss drained and rinsed beans with red wine vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked quinoa, corn, bell pepper, jalapenos, and cilantro. In a small bowl mix together lime juice, salt, and cumin and add oil in a stream, whisking until ingredients are emulsified. Add dressing to quinoa, black beans mix and toss well.
**If you don't have a rice cooker follow cooking instructions on quinoa package**
This is unbelievably healthy and the kind of dish that will only get better with age. Make this and you will have a week's worth of lunch in the fridge-and no guilt!
