    1 1/2 cups quinoa
    1 1/2 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
    1 1/2 cups cooked corn (fresh, canned or frozen
    1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
    4 scallions, chopped
    1 tsp garlic, minced fine
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped fine
    1/3 cup fresh lime juice
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 1/4 ts. ground cumin

    Recipe



    Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve under cold running water until water
    runs clear. Put quinoa in a pot with 2 1/4 cups water. Bring to a
    boil, then cover and simmer 20 minutes or until water is absorbed
    and quinoa is tender. Fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer to a
    large bowl and allow to cool.

    While quinoa is cooking, in a small bowl toss beans with vinegar
    and salt and pepper to taste.

    Add beans, corn, bell pepper, scallions, garlic, cayenne and
    coriander to the quinoa. Toss well.

    In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, salt, cumin and add
    oil in a stream while whisking. Drizzle over salad and toss well
    with salt and pepper. Salad may be made a day ahead and
    refrigerated, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    Makes 6 to 8 entrée servings or 16 side-dish servings
