Step 1

Rinse the 1 ½ cups quinoa and drain completely. Place quinoa in a medium saucepan with 2¼ cups water and a few pinches salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to very low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 13 to 15 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed (part the quinoa with a fork to check if the water is absorbed; if not, cook for a few more minutes). Turn off the heat and let sit covered to cool for about 5 minutes, then fluff the quinoa with a fork.

Step 2

If using canned black beans, drain and rinse the beans.

Step 3

Thinly slice 3 green onions. Dice the zucchini. Cut the grape tomatoes in half. Place all vegetables in a bowl.

Step 4

When the quinoa is done, let it cool slightly, then add it to the bowl with the vegetables. Stir in 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and mix gently to combine.
