Summer Quinoa Salad

- 1 cup uncooked quinoa ((I used tricolour in this recipe))
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 can black beans
- 1/2 can corn niblets
- 1 bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Dressing
- 1 lime
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Rinse the quinoa well using a fine mesh sieve.
Add 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water and a pinch of sea salt to a medium size saucepan, stir, and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork when done.
Combine the cooked quinoa with the other salad ingredients, including the freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice, vinegar, spices and olive oil. Add sea salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
Serve chilled.
