Spice up your picnic or pot luck with a fresh and healthy Mango Quinoa Salad, made in just 15 minutes with fresh mangoes, corn, black beans and spices. This gluten free and dairy free salad is perfect to enjoy as is or as a side for dinner.
In a large bowl, place the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, green onions, and mango in a bowl.
Mix ingredients then add the cilantro, zested lime, and lime juice. Sprinkle the chili powder on top, mix well and let chill in the refrigerator for at least a half hour.
Notes
Fruit - If mango isn't in season you could chop up some canned (or fresh) pineapple. I know that sweet acidic flavor would also complement this salad well.
Corn - I like to use frozen corn that has been thawed, but you could use fresh or even drained canned corn.
Beans - You can use freshly cooked black beans or drained and rinsed canned black beans.
