Instructions
Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve under cold running water until water runs clear. Put quinoa in a pot with 2¼ cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 20 minutes or until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer to large bowl and allow to cool
Once quinoa has cooled, add beans, corn, bell pepper, scallions, garlic, cilantro, and cayenne (if using) and toss to combine.
In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, salt, cumin and add oil in a stream while whisking. Drizzle over salad and toss well. If desired, add salt and pepper, to taste.
