Vegan Quinoa and Black Bean Salad

In a medium saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, and red bell pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, and salt.

Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve.
