                                          • Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy.
                                          • Combine quinoa, water and salt in a covered stockpot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until water is completely absorbed about 10-15 minutes. When done, the quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. The white ring will appear only when it is fully cooked. Transfer cooked quinoa to a shallow pan and refrigerate to cool.
                                            Critical Control Point:
                                            Cool to 41˚F or lower within 4 hours.
                                          • Dressing: In a separate bowl combine lime juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, and ginger. Whisk together until ingredients are well combined. Set aside for step 4.
                                          • In a large bowl combine the bell peppers, black beans, green onions, and cilantro. Add the dressing and mix well. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
                                            Critical Control Point:
                                            Cool to 41°F or lower within 4 hours.
                                          • Scoop 1 cup chilled quinoa into each bowl.
                                          • Using a No. 8 scoop, place ½ cup of black bean mixture on top of quinoa.
                                          • Just before serving, top with 1 oz of avocado and 2 halves of hard boiled egg.
                                          • Serve immediately. Serve 1 quinoa bowl per person.
