Red Quinoa Salad With Black Beans & Mangos

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 c. red or white quinoa, dry (cooked according to directions)
  • 2-3 avocados
  • 2 mangoes, diced
  • 1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper (or 4 baby ones), finely chopped
  • 1 can corn, rinsed
  • 1 can low sodium black beans, rinsed
  • 1 c. tomatoes, chopped (I prefer grape or cherry tomatoes)
  • 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, finely diced (optional)
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, squeezed
  • 2-3 T. red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
  • S & P, to taste

 METHOD

  1. Cook quinoa according to directions & chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. You can cook it in advance up to a day or two before.
  2. Chop all ingredients and toss them together in a bowl.
  3. Drizzle with vinegar, lime juice & oil. Make sure your oil is extra virgin and if possible, get a good vinegar from the health food store that is “raw.” The label will usually say “with mother.” Then you will reap the good health benefits from your vinegar!
