Beanoa (Aka Quinoa Salad With Black Beans, Tomatoes, Corn, And Rajas)
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth or water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked black beans, drained

- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, preferably mixed varieties, quartered
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons or more fresh cilantro, finely chopped (substitute parsley if you don't like cilantro)
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add quinoa and cumin seeds and stir until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth and salt; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, lime juice, and black pepper until emulsified. Add black beans, corn, poblano pepper, tomato, scallions, and cilantro. Stir in the quinoa.
