Quinoa Salad

A friend of mine gave me this recipe for a delicious quinoa salad. We have had it a couple times now and we love it!

Quinoa Salad 
Dressing: 
   -- 5 Tbsp fresh lime juice
   -- 1 tsp salt
   -- 1 whole garlic clove, finely minced
   -- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
   -- 1 tsp ground cumin
   -- 1/3 cup olive oil
   -- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper, to taste 

For the Salad:
   -- 1.5 cup quinoa
   -- 1 Tbsp salt, add when boiling quinoa
   -- 1 can (14 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
   -- 1.5 cup corn kernels, fresh (cut from about 2 large ears of corn)
   -- 1 cup finely chopped sweet bell peppers 
   -- 1 whole jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
   -- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
   -- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

   

The actual recipe explains how you're supposed to prepare the quinoa. It required a cheesecloth, boiling for a while, then steaming for a while.... but I just prepared the quinoa the regular way the internet tells you to and it worked just fine for me.
