Preparation
Boil 2 cups water (480mL) in a saucepan. Add the quinoa and simmer,
covered, for 15 minutes. When done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Combine quinoa
with remaining ingredients for the quinoa salad.
While the quinoa cooks, toss the bean salad ingredients in another
bowl.
To assemble, spread quinoa salad evenly on a platter. Leave a well in
the center and mound bean salad into the well. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Arrange olives and
pepper strips around the edge.
