Set aside, uncovered, to let cool.
Meanwhile bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the green beans and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
In a large bowl, combine quinoa, green beans, lemon juice and oil.
Add sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper and toss to combine well.
