To cook quinoa: Place 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water into 1-½ quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Let quinoa cool.

Meanwhile, soak the black beans in vinegar.

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, salt and cumin, whisking while pouring in olive oil.

When the quinoa is done, mix beans, corn, bell pepper and cilantro in a large bowl. Dress quinoa salad with lime juice mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
