Mango Quinoa Salad

Looking for a new, summer side-dish? This colorful mango quinoa salad is a delicious addition to any meal.

I modified this recipe, originally from Whole foods, to what our taste buds preferred.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups quinoa
• 4 cups water (for cooking quinoa)
• 1 package frozen mango from Trader Joe’s, thawed OR 2-3 diced fresh mangos
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut
• 1 cup slivered almonds, unsalted
• 1 1/2 cups golden raisins
• 3 cups frozen edamame, thawed
• Juice of 4 limes
• 4 Tbs balsamic vinegar

1. Rinse quinoa well, cook as directed.
2. Fluff quinoa when done, spread out to let it cool.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Once cooled, add quinoa to the mixture and toss.
5. Cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, and enjoy!
