Mango-Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked red quinoa (at room temperature or cold)
• 1 mango, diced
• 1 handful of chopped parsley
• 1 15-ounce can of black beans
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 6 green onions, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil and lime juice. In a big bowl, combine all other ingredients. Drizzle liquid mixture over the salad, and toss until well combined. Chill for about an hour.

Note: To make cooked quinoa, rinse 3/4 cup of dry quinoa and then add to a medium sauce pan with 1 and 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Cook until quinoa is tender and fluffy and the water is absorbed.
