Quinoa Salad


I just kind of made this one up. I eat it plain, but it's good with tortilla chips as well. If by chance you are on the weight watchers program, it's about 3 points for 1 cup.

1/2 C. dry quinoa
1/2 C. low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 C. black beans (1 can)
1 1/2 C. canned corn (1 can)
1 can chopped tomatoes
1/2 avocado coarsly chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 t. coarse salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
3 T. chopped cilantro

Bring quinoa and broth to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook quinoa for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients and toss. Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
