From 'Low-Fat Moosewood by Mollie Katzen'
1/3 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1 tsp. olive oil
4 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. coriander
1 tbs. chopped cilantro

1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (15 ounce can)
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup diced peppers (red, yellow, green or mixture)
2 tsp. minced green chiles

Rinse the quinoa well in a sieve under cool running
water. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add the quinoa,
cover and simmer on low heat, until all water is absorbed and quinoa
is tender (10-15 minutes).
Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, combine
oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, cilantro scallions. Stir in the
beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, chiles. Add the cooled quinoa, salt
and pepper to taste, and combine thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready
to serve. Garnish with lemon/lime wedges.
