Cook quinoa according to directions on package, except add in cumin and turmeric to the water while it cooks.

While quinoa cooks, prepare remaining ingredients. (Optionally: you can halve the bell pepper and roast in the broiler for about 10 minutes, flipping once, or until skin blisters. Remove the skin and finely chop. This is optional and you can also just use finely chopped, raw bell pepper.)

When quinoa is cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes and then mix in all remaining ingredients.
