Quinoa Salad and Broccoli Slaw

Quinoa Salad:

2 Cups Quinoa
Tomatoes
4 Ears Corn
2 Avocados
Red onion
1 Can Black Beans
4 cups water

Cook the quinoa in boiling water according to directions on package and cool.  Roast the corn on the rack over a gas range so it blackens. Cut kernals off cobs when they have cooled. Dice the red onion. Cut the avocado into smallish pieces.  Rinse the black beans.  Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl.

Broccoli Slaw:

4 Bags Broccoli Slaw (Trader Joe’s is a good source for this.)
2 Fennel Bulbs
2 Green Apples
1 Cup Dried Cranberries
Mayonnaise to taste
Apple Cider Vinegar to taste

Dice the fennel and cube the apples.  Toss all ingredients with mayo & vinegar.  Delicious!
