Ingredients
Salad Base
Dressing
Preparation of Quinoa
1. Rinse and Cook Quinoa
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove its bitter coating. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Chopping Vegetables and Fruits
2. Chop Fresh Ingredients
While the quinoa is cooking, dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Peel and dice the mango into cubes. Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
Making the Dressing
3. Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Combining Ingredients
4. Mix Everything Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, mango, and chopped cilantro. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Serving
5. Serve the Salad
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy your refreshing Mango Quinoa Salad!
