Make this vibrant and nutritious holiday salad in just 15 minutes! Packed with quinoa, black beans, and fresh veggies, it’s a quick, versatile meal perfect for leftovers on the go or for school lunches.

Looking for a quick, colorful and meal-worthy salad that’s ready in less than 15 minutes? Meet my Loaded Fiesta Salad! This vibrant dish is packed with fiber, protein, and all the flavors of a feast—perfect for a busy dinner party or an easy lunch fix. As a busy dietitian mom of three, each with their own after school activities, meals like these are lifesavers!

Gift; It’s super flexible. Serve it on its own, scoop it up with tortilla chips, wrap it in a tortilla, or throw it on crackers for a hearty snack. Whether you want to keep it plant-based or prefer to add some grilled chicken for extra protein, this salad is a lunch (or dinner) winner every time.

Why this dietitian loves this fiesta salad

I mean, what’s not to love about a 15 minute recipe?! Of course, it is also rich in nutrients. Quinoa not only makes this salad extra filling, but also adds a boost of plant-based protein and fiber. If you’re like me and love quinoa for meal prep, this salad is an easy way to use up those leftovers. That being said, there are a few more reasons why I keep coming back to this salad:

  • Quick and easy: Using leftover quinoa makes this a 6 minute meal. Even when you cook fresh quinoa, it’s ready in 15 minutes or less.
  • Budget Friendly: Food staples like black beans and canned corn keep it affordable without sacrificing nutrition.
  • Versatile: It’s as delicious with a fork as it is on chips or crackers.
  • Perfect for lunch and leftovers: The flavors only get better the next day, making it perfect for school lunches or leftovers.
