Mango Quinoa

This was so tasty! This is very refreshing and easy to make. It was my first time making quinoa and I, must say it was pretty easy and tasty. This would be a great summer salad or paired with chicken. I will be making this again for sure.

Mango Quinoa Salad Recipe adapted from Ali Vincent

2 cups cooked quinoa* at room temperature, or chilled 1 14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 medium mango, peeled and diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 6 green onions, thinly sliced 1 handful chopped cilantro (about 1/2 cup) 4 tablespoon red wine vinegar 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice kosher salt freshly cracked black pepper

*Quinoa can be cooked in water or broth. I suggest using vegetable or chicken broth for enhanced flavor, but plain water works great too.

Place cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Add mango, red pepper, green onion, black beans, and cilantro. In a small bowl combine vinegar, olive oil, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and pour on top of salad. Toss to combine and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
