Quinoa Salad

This is a very simple salad and I make it often. I usually use coriander leaves as well, but I didn't have any today. Quinoa is gluten free and very high in protein. This is a colorful salad with brown beans, yellow corns, green capsicum, red tomatoes and onions. Pretty, nutritious, easy to make and delicious- all the things I like in a recipe!

Ingredients:

1 cup of quinoa
1 1/2 cups of water

1 can (432g) of kidney beans (I wash and drain beans)
1 cup of corn ( I use canned ones)
1 capsicum diced
1 tomato diced without seeds
1/2 red onion diced
1/2 cup of sliced olives
Salt and black pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon

Wash quinoa in cold water and drain. Add 1 1/2 cups of water and cook until soft. Stir with a fork and set aside.

Combine beans, corn, capsicum, tomato, onion and olives. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

Add lemon juice. Mix everything well.
