A good side dish to accompany Mexican delicacies (fajitas, tacos)
Place the quinoa in a small saucepan with the water, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Dry-toast the corn in a non-stick frying pan until it turns golden, then remove from the heat and cool.
Place the quinoa, corn, tomatoes, red and green capiscums, onion, red kidney beans and coriander in a bowl and mix well.
Whisk all the remaining ingredients together and pour over salad. Toss well and serve.
