Ingredients

1 ½ cups quinoa
1 ½ cups black beans
cooked, rinsed if canned
1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 ½ cups corn
cooked
¾ cup green bell peppers
chopped
2 jalapeño pepper
pickled, seeded and minced
*
¼ cup cilantro
freshly chopped
Dressing:
5 tablespoons lime juice
fresh
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
ground, or more or less to taste
½ teaspoon salt
or to taste
¼ cup olive oil, extra-virgin
or up to 1/3 cup

Directions

In a bowl wash quinoa in at least 5 changes cold water, rubbing grains and letting them settle before pouring off most of water, until water runs clear and drain in a large fine sieve.

In a saucepan of salted boiling water cook quinoa 10 minutes.

Drain quinoa in sieve and rinse under cold water.

Set sieve over a saucepan of boiling water (quinoa should not touch water) and steam quinoa, covered with a kitchen towel and lid, until fluffy and dry, about 10 minutes (check water level in kettle occasionally, adding water if necessary).

While quinoa is cooking, in a small bowl toss beans with vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and cool. Add beans, corn, bell pepper, jalapeños, and coriander and toss well.

To Make dressing:

In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, salt, and cumin and add oil in a stream, whisking.

Drizzle dressing over salad and toss well with salt and pepper to taste.

Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before serving.

Can you freeze this for later?

I haven't tried yet. So not sure whether or not freezing would impact the texture or the flavor.
