ingredients
1/3 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons lime juice

Rinse the quinoa well in a sieve under cool running water. In a saucepan, bring water to boil, add quinoa, cover, and simmer on low heat until all of the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
In small bowl, combine oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, cilantro and scallions. Stir in beans, tomatoes, peppers and chiles. Add cooled quinoa, and salt and pepper and combine thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with lemon or lime wedges.

Very tasty and a wonderfully different salad. I added more cumin and cilantro, and added black pepper for a bit more distinctive taste.
