Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1/2 cup vegetable broth
    1/4 cup quinoa
    1 small lemon, juiced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley, chopped
    2 stalks green onions (scallions) chopped
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1 can (15 oz. size) black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 tomato, seeded and diced
    1 cup fresh or frozen corn (thawed, if frozen)

Directions

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*
