Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup red quinoa
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 orange bell pepper, finely diced
1 mango, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Rinse the quinoa in a strainer several times with cold water. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover, and turn off the heat. Allow the quinoa to steam until the water has been absorbed completely and the quinoa grains pop open, 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the vinegar, mustard, garlic, shallot, 2 teaspoons salt and 5 to 6 turns freshly ground black pepper. While pouring in a slow, steady stream, whisk in the olive oil until fully incorporated and lightly emulsified. Add the peppers, mango, mint and quinoa. Toss to combine well and serve.

A bit too tangy for my taste, but I think I just added too much lime juice. Next time I'll be more careful with the measurements.

Not a fan of mango, so I used pineapple instead. Also added some grilled chicken to make it a more complete meal.

The dressing made all the difference in this dish. I loved the tangy and slightly spicy flavor it added to the salad.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I used black quinoa instead of red and it turned out great.

This salad was a hit at my summer potluck! The combination of red quinoa, mango, and avocado was refreshing and flavorful. I also loved the addition of the cilantro and lime dressing. Will definitely be making this again.
