Mexican Mango Quinoa + Arugula Salad
Yield 4-6
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups baby arugula (or other preferred green)
1 red bell pepper, diced (seeds + membranes removed)
1 green bell pepper, diced (seed + membranes removed)
1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, diced (I like to dice mine really thin)
1/2 cup choppped cilantro
1 avocado, pitted and diced
1 mango, pitted and diced
Juice from 2 limes
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, garlic and salt and pepper together then set aside!
In a large salad bowl gently toss the quinoa, arugula, bell peppers, black beans, cilantro, red onion, avocado and mango all together. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to incorporate. Serve.
Notes
**if you don't plan on serving immediately, toss everything together and stir the greens in just before serving so they don't get soggy. Garnish with additional cilantro, and feel free to add salt, pepper, and seasonings to taste, or add more lime juice! (it's a very light dressing!)
