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.
