With quinoa, it's easy to make healthy, vegetarian salads. This version of a quinoa salad with black beans and cocktail onions in a jar is beyond tasty. Each ingredient is in harmony with the others and does not unbalance the taste. The quinoa also adds consistency to this recipe and it's just delicious.

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Spread the quinoa on a baking sheet; refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the cumin seeds over high heat, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; transfer to a blender. Add the lime juice and oil and blend. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing into a bowl and add the black beans, bell pepper, cilantro and cocktail onions. Scrape the quinoa into the bowl, season with salt and pepper and serve.
