Here is the recipe:

Black Bean and corn Quinoa Salad

1 c quinoa

2 c vegetable broth

1/2 15oz can of black beans

1 c frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed

1/2 avocado, cut into 1/2 inch peices

1 c chopped tomatoes

1/2 c red onion, chopped small

Cilantro Dressing (Below)

zest of 1/2 lime

Salt and pepper

Chopped cilantro for garnish

Cook quinoa in vegetable broth according to package. Meanwhile combine black beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes and onion in a mixing bowl. Top with salad dressing (below). And add the lemon zest and the cilantro if you would like.

When quinoa is done you can either cool it for a cold salad or eat it hot. Both are tasty.

Cilantro Dressing

1/3 c olive oil

2 T chopped cilantro

2 T white wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cumin (i added a little more, i love cumin!)

squirt of agave nectar (if it tastes to vinager add more agave)

Place all ingredients in a container and shake until well mixed.

To make salad just place the black bean and corn mixture on top of quinoa and serve =]
