Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa Salad

I found a recipe online but they used so many unhealthy ingredients that it seemed to nullify the wonderfully healthy quinoa. So I tweaked the ingredients and amounts and have come up with a recipe that even my teens adore. Warning: I now find myself craving it sometimes!

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa Salad

2 t. grated lime zest
2 T. Fresh lime juice
2 T. olive oil
1 t. agave nectar OR a itty bitty pinch of stevia
1 C. quinoa
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
4 green onion stalks, chopped
1/2 C. fresh cilantro

Wash the quinoa, drain, then put in cooking pot and toast until it has a nice, nutty scent. Add two cups of water and cook until water is dissolved.

While quinoa is cooking, mix all other ingredients together. Add quinoa and then salt and pepper to taste.
