Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable broth1/4 cup quinoa1 small lemon, juiced2 tablespoons olive oil2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley, chopped2 stalks green onions (scallions) chopped1 teaspoon minced garlic1 teaspoon cumin1 can (15 oz. size) black beans, drained and rinsed1 tomato, seeded and diced1 cup fresh or frozen corn (thawed, if frozen)
Cook quinoa in broth about 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
In a large bowl, make the dressing by mixing lemon juice, olive oil, parsley or cilantro, scallions, garlic and cumin.
Add drained and rinsed beans, chopped tomatoes and corn to the bowl. No need to cook the fresh corn; just cut it right off the cobs.
When quinoa is fully cooked and has cooled a bit, add it to the salad and mix everything thoroughly.
Best refrigerated for at least one hour to let flavors mingle, but you can eat it immediately if you're hungry!
Variations: Use bulgur or another grain instead of quinoa. Use lime instead of lemon. Substitute other varieties of beans.
*little tip..do no use a juicer to juice your lemon.. just squeeze it.. juicer will get you to much lemon juice and it will be tart*
