1 can black beans
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, cooked and cooled

1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne/black pepper
2 or 3 chopped scallions, to your liking

Cook 1 1/2 to 2 cups quinoa following the instructions (chicken broth can be used instead of water). Let the cooked quinoa cool and set aside.

Rinse can of black beans and drain them. Add red wine vinegar and let stand in a bowl.

To cooled quinoa, add the corn, chopped red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cayenne/black pepper, and chopped scallions.

Dressing
1/3 cup of lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Refrigerate. Best if made the day before - it improves with time.
