Quinoa with Black Beans and Corn

This recipe came from All Recipes. It is very light yet filling, bursting with flavour yet healthy. YUM!
I used dried Black Turtle Beans that had been soaked for 24 hours then boiled for 45 mins then simmered for 15mins.
This is great as a side, main or lunch type salad.
