Black bean corn quinoa

My husband and I love quinoa and are constantly looking for new ways to eat it. This is an original recipe from my husband and feel free to adjust spices to your taste! Enjoy as a main dish or a side dish to your main course.  This is also a dish that can be enjoyed over a few days as the flavors continue to blend.

Salad:
1 Cup uncooked quinoa
1 can black beans, rinsed
12 oz frozen corn
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Dressing:
1 TBSP dijon mustard
1TBSP lime juice
1 TBSP EVOO
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 TSP cumin
1/2 TSP garlic powder
1/2 TSP onion powder

Cook quinoa as per package directions. Transfer to extra large mixing bowl.  Add black beans, corn and chopped cilantro, mix.  In medium mixing bowl, mix dressing ingredients and wisk until blended.  Pour dressing mixture over salad and stir.
