Cook the quinoa for 14 to 15 minutes until it absorbs its water, then complete the draining step so the grains do not mash.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool for 5 minutes so the grains do not stick.
For the dressing, whisk the olive oil with lime juice and salt so the Peruvian flavor comes forward.
Toss the main ingredients with the dressing for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces do not fall apart.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the dressing is glossy.
💡 Tip: Fluffing the quinoa with a fork after cooking prevents clumping.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the purple corn quinoa bowl cold with lime wedges.
