2 cups cooked red quinoa (at room temperature or cold)
1 mango, diced
1 handful of chopped cilantro
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
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.
