Steps:
- 1 Combine quinoa and 1 1⁄2 cups water in medium pot; bring to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. 2 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on high heat, add green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until barely tender. Remove from heat and drain green beans in a colander. Place colander in ice water to preserve the beans' bright green colour and stop them from cooking further. 3 Using a sharp knife, cut tomatoes in half and gently squeeze out and discard seeds. (It's unnecessary to remove skins.) Cut tomatoes in 1⁄2-inch dice. 4 In a large bowl, combine quinoa, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions and basil. Season with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with pecans. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. Variation: *oven-dried tomatoes; **grilled pepper.
GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD
This simple summer salad pairs beautifully with practically any grilled meat or fish, and it's quite easy to make. Just blanch the green beans until crisp tender, then toss with wedges of ripe tomato and a bright vinaigrette of Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic, shallots and olive oil. A shower of chopped fresh basil across the top finishes it off.

ZESTY QUINOA SALAD
This bright and colorful salad is a great summertime recipe (or anytime you want to feel like it's summertime). Light and citrusy, it's a whole new way to enjoy quinoa. Lime juice and cilantro give a refreshing kick, while quinoa and black beans provide tasty vegan protein. If you're not vegan, add even more protein by adding chunks of chicken or turkey. Yum!

TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL
This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.
