Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups quinoa
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans with salt, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups cooked corn
3/4 cup finely chopped green peppers
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/3 cup ( fresh) lime juice
1/2 tsp of salt
1 1/4 tsp of cumin
1/4 cup of olive oil

Directions:

In a bowl, wash quinoa in a least 5 changes cold water, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off most of the water, until water runs clear and drain in a large sieve.
In a saucepan bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa and turn heat down to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until all water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
While quinoa is cooking, in a small bowl, toss beans with vinegar and salt and pepper. Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and cool. Add beans, corn, bell peppers, and cilantro and toss well.
Make dressing: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, salt, and cumin and add oil in a stream while whisking. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss well with salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before serving.
