Here is one of my favorite cooked vegan dishes, perfect for a raw transition. It is high in protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

 

Cooked Transition Recipe: Roasted Corn and Quinoa Salad

Serves 4

 

This recipe is excellent served with any raw soup and salad. It is packed with protein and a really filling supper. It tastes even better the next day and makes great leftovers for family lunches.

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons chopped onion (I prefer red)

1 cups quinoa, cooked according to package directions

1 medium tomato, diced

2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained (If you can soak dried beans than do so (also boil for an hour after overnight soaking), if not opt for an organic, BPA-free can, such as Eden Organic).

3-4 tablespoons of fresh lime or lemon juice, to taste

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/4 teaspoon ground dried chile (optional)

 

  1. In skillet, heat the olive oil and add spices, onion and corn kernels. Sauté gently for 7-10 minutes or just until lightly browned. Set aside in a dish to cool.
  2. Place all other ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently.
  3. Once the corn and onions have cooled add to main mixture and gently toss to incorporate.
  4. Enjoy!
