Quinoa Salad

3 cup frozen corn
1 cup water or broth
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 cup chopped green onions
2 cup cloves of garlic, crushed
 salt and pepper to taste
1 can black beans, drained
1  or 2 chopped tomatoes
1 cup salsa (maybe up to 2c)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Pronounced "keen-wa". Simmer corn, water and quinoa together. Cool
and add dressing of lemon juice, oil and spices. Add other
ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips.

The first time I had this deliciousness was at my friend Lisa Gleason's. It is a great appetizer, snack or meal.
