This is a great recipe to try for summer. You can vary the vegetables too if you don’t like tomatoes or aren’t a fan of corn. I like that this could be eaten warm or cold so great for leftovers the next day (if you have any). My family is trying to eat a little more healthy and we have gone dairy free/soy free so trying new things. Serve this as a main course or as a side, we ate it as an entree. Yes you can enjoy a healthy warm summer salad from the crock-pot!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add quinoa to crock-pot with water.
- Add corn on top.
- Cook for 4-5 hours on low.
- Add beans, tomato, avocado, onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Stir and cook for an additional 1/2 hour to one hour or until quinoa is cooked.*
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl or blender mix 1/4 cup olive oil, juice from the lime, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper to make dressing.
- When quinoa is cooked serve warm or chilled and drizzle dressing on top.
Notes
*Quinoa is cooked when the little white thread has sprouted out of the seed. It will still have a little crunch.
Dressing may separate upon standing, just re-mix with a fork or whisk. You don’t need alot of it to flavor this salad.

Thanks for sharing looks good!
I’ve been looking for slow cooked quinoa recipes so this is perfect! Thanks!
Horrible recipe. I don’t consider this a quinoa salad. It’s a bean dish..nothing else. The beans empower the quinoa! By the time you lift the lid all you are beans. I hated it and blame myself for trying it.
