quinoa, black bean and asparagus salad

1 c dry quinoa
2 c vegetable broth
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can asparagus (or 1 bunch, steamed)
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp dill
@2 T soy sauce
@2 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
extra water as needed for the quinoa

Cook quinoa in broth and spices till nearly done.  Add beans and asparagus and stir.  Add soy sauce and lemon juice and stir.  Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. 
Add water at any time if it looks dry (or cover while the quinoa is cooking to help retain water).

GK's notes:  this is tasty, but it's better as a side than as a main dish--it isn't very satisfying on its own.
