    List of Ingredients




    Quinoa and Black Bean Salad


    1 1/2 cups quinoa, well rinsed
    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 parsley, chopped fine
    1/3 cup fresh lime juice
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
    1/3 cup olive oil

    Recipe





    Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve under cold running water until water runs clear. This step is important--don't omit!

    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 with a fork, transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool.

    While quinoa cooks, toss beans in a small bowl with vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Add beans, corn, bell pepper, scallions, garlic, cayenne and parsley to the quinoa. Toss well.

    In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, salt and cumin. 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.
