Mango Quinoa Salad

I've been making this recipe for a good two years now. Pierce loves it. It's great as a main dish or side dish. I make homemade quesadillas with this recipe, the two go great together!

Ingredients:

- 2 cups prepared quinoa (This is 1/2 cup dry. I like it better cooked in chicken broth)
- 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 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (I use 2T, but I really like lime!)
- salt
- freshly cracked black pepper


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.
