This looks so tasty. I found it in an email a friend had forwarded to me. I could not find it on the wesite link in the email so I just copied and pasted it here. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

Ingredients
1 cup dry
quinoa, rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
or coconut oil
1 3/4 cup water
1 can black
beans, drained and rinsed
1 avocado,
chopped into chunks
handful cherry
tomatoes, quartered
1/2 red onion,

1 small clove
garlic, minced
1 red bell
pepper, chopped into chunks
small handful
cilantro, diced
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tbsp olive

Directions
1. Warm the olive/coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium
heat. Once it's hot add the rinsed quinoa and toast for about 2-3 minutes. Add
water, stir once, cover, and simmer with a lid on for 20 minutes.
2. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by
combining the lime juice, oil, cumin, and salt. Whisk it aggressively. Adjust
seasoning as necessary.
3. When the quinoa has finished cooking, remove it from heat and
fluff with a fork. Add black beans and toss to warm them through.
4. Let the quinoa cool for about five minutes and then add all
the remaining ingredients, including the dressing, and mix. Adjust seasoning to
your preference.
Enjoy!
