Serves 4 as a side dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons minced scallions

3. In a large bowl, combine the oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, cilantro, and scallions. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, and chilies.

4. Add the cooled quinoa, and salt and pepper to taste, and combine thoroughly.
