Preparation
Step 1
1. Comine quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Cover, bring to boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until water is completely absorbed. Transfer to bowl.
2. While quinoa cooks, chop all vegetables/mango and combine in a bowl. Add beans. Once quinoa has cooled a little, pour over vinegar and lemon juice and fluff with a fork until well-combined. Then stir in vegetable/mango/bean mixture.
3. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator until completely cooled. Serve chilled as a side salad or on its own as a meal.
Note: To make this a winter salad when mangoes are not in season, substitute apples for mangoes and use 3 - 4 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar, 2 - 3 tbsp. lemon juice and 1 - 2 tbsp. date paste as a dressing.
