Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 cup vacuum-packed whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon ground cumin

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I usually make a big batch of quinoa on the weekend and then use it in salads, soups, and stir-fries throughout the week.
