Step 1

To cook the quinoa in the Instant Pot, combine the quinoa and water in the bottom of the pot. Secure the lid and move the steam release valve to Sealing, then use the Manual or Pressure Cook button to cook at high pressure for 1 minute. Let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes. When the screen reads LO:15, move the steam release valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure, then remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Remove the stainless steel insert from the Instant Pot housing to help the quinoa cool faster. (See stove top directions in the notes below.)

Step 2

While the quinoa is cooking, stir together the olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt in a bowl and set it aside. This is also a great time to chop the pepper, red onion, green onions, and cilantro while you wait for the quinoa to finish cooking.

Step 3

When the quinoa is ready, stir in the dressing, pepper, red onion, green onions, and black beans, and toss well to make sure the dressing is evenly distributed. These should help to cool the quinoa even more, then stir in the cilantro. While the salad is still warm, the flavors might be a little strong, but they will mellow as the salad cools down in the fridge. I recommend chilling it for at least an hour before serving for best flavor.

Step 4

This salad should keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
