"I served this tonight to my immediate family of vegetarians as well as my in-laws who are skeptical of any meal that doesn't have meat in it. We all loved it! Even the 5-year-old and 1-year-old ate it well. The only change I made was to eliminate the cilantro (a few in the group don't appreciate it) and increase the parsley. I also sprinkled some small pieces of salmon on top that had been coated with Thai coconut curry panko bread crumbs. We all agreed that while this was a nice addition it wasn't necessary as the salad really was great on it's own. This is definitely a make-again!" - Billstap

Black Bean, Red Pepper, Corn, and Quinoa Salad Preparation

1. In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add quinoa and stir until toasted and aromatic--about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, cumin, and salt; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed--about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes; with fork, fluff quinoa and set aside at room temperature to cool. 2. In medium-size bowl, whisk together remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the lime juice, and black pepper. Stir in black beans, corn, tomato, red pepper, green onions, cilantro, chopped parsley, and cooked quinoa. 3. To serve, divide greens among 4 salad plates. Spoon quinoa mixture onto greens. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving. Posted to EAT-LF Digest by Katherine Rodman on Apr 12, 1998

I prepared this with halved grape tomatoes and orange pepper chunks and the results were great.

This was a really delicious salad. We served it over baby lettuce and had it with a nice piece of poached flounder. The next day I wrapped some up in a tortilla with shredded chicken and it was so good!

This was the first time I had cooked with quinoa. It is earthy tasting, and the lime juice makes a tangy and tasty contrast. I had the leftovers with roasted potatos and that was yummy. The only thing I did different is roasting the red papper first. Also quick and easy!
