roasted corn and quinoa salad


ingredients:
1 c. uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 c. water or broth
1 red or orange bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 c. to 1 c. corn kernels (frozen or canned are fine)
1/2 c. baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
 salt and pepper to taste
handful of fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

directions:
1) rinse the quinoa to get rid of the bitter taste, and then cook according to instructions on package in broth or water.  the amount if liquid listed is less then recommended so that the quinoa stays a bit crunchy.  let cool and put aside.
2)   while quinoa is cooking, place corn kernels on a lined baking sheet and cook in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.  i like the rest of my veggies raw, but feel free to roast the peppers as well.
3)  in a salad bowl, mix the peppers, green onions, corn, spinach and quinoa and mix well.
4)  in a small bowl, mix the oil, lime juice, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper until combined.  if you like a lot of dressing, double the recipe and put some aside.  pour desired amount of dressing over salad, add crumbled feta and chopped herbs and toss to coat evenly.

*variation - i didn't have peppers, green onions or feta.  i added radishes and carrots instead.  you could use any mixture of veggies with the quinoa and dressing for a good salad.
