Add the water to a pot and bring to a boil. Add the salt and quinoa. Stir, cover, and lower the heat until it's at a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, covered. Uncover, top with the corn and tomatoes, then re-cover. Cook another another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to steam for 5 more minutes.
