Rainbow Pepper Salad with Fig Vinaigrette

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients (serves 1):

• 1/4 cup purple bell pepper
• 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup orange bell pepper
• 1/4 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/4 cup defrosted shelled edamame
• 1/4 cup cooked white navy beans, rinsed if previously canned
• about 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried dill
• fig infused white balsamic vinegar (or other fruit-infused vinegar)

Instructions:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. If quinoa is uncooked, simmer it in water or low-sodium vegetable broth for 15 minutes or until grains have become puffy. Then add it to the bowl.
• Drizzle fig-infused balsamic vinegar (or your favourite fruit-infused vinegar) over the salad and toss to coat. For best flavour, let the bowl sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavours to intensify. Serve cold
