ingredients

1/3 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons scallions, minced
1 can (15 ounce size) black beans, drained
2 cups tomatoes, diced
1 cup bell peppers, diced
2 teaspoons fresh green chiles, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

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.

    Just made this salad today after trying it on Saturday. I love it and the recipe is simple.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

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