Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, bell pepper, sweet corn, avocados, jalapenos and black bean.  Mix well.  Set aside.

  2. In a small bowl combine lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and salt.  Whisk until combined well.

  3. Pour dressing over quinoa mixture and stir well.  I prefer to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes (totally up to you!)
