Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 ripe but firm mangoes
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • Black pepper

Method
 

  1. Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and spread on a baking sheet to cool.
  2. Dice mangoes into 1/2-inch cubes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the cilantro.
  3. Whisk the lime juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl until combined.
  4. Add the cooled quinoa, mango, onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Toss to coat and serve.

Notes

If you plan to make this ahead, store the dressing separately and toss just before eating. The salad is best the day it is made, but it keeps well in the fridge for a few days.
