Quinoa Black Bean Salad

(it is pronounced KEEN-wah)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups uncooked quinoa

4 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed (1 15oz can will work)
1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups cooked corn
3/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (1 pepper is fine)
2 pickled jalapeño chilies, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

For dressing
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste
1/3 cup olive oil

Rinse quinoa in a strainer before cooking. In a medium sized pot with a lid, bring quinoa and broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a little below medium (4 on my stove). Simmer covered for 25 minutes. When finished, fluff and remove from heat.

In a serving bowl, mix the dressing. Stir in all remaining ingredients, adding quinoa last.
