Summer Quinoa Salad
My sister and I opened a Latin Bistro Restaurant in central california last August. It's been the most rewarding thing. We serve healthy Latin food with a bistro twist.... Anyway! We've been experimenting with a ton of quinoa salads. (It amazing how many people have never had this super food) We FINALLY found one and it's the best quinoa salad we've ever had!
2 cups of cooked quinoa (cooked in water with a little salt)
1 mango diced
2 medium size tomatoes diced
4 scallions diced (green and white parts)
1/2 cup freshed chopped cilantro
1 avocado diced
1 tbls. good quality olive oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
combine olive oil, lime juice and all the veggies/herbs except the avocado and stir to combine, fold in fluffed quinoa, then gently fold in avocado.... that's all. It's so refreshing and healthy! We offer it with grilled chicken, salmon or prawns on top!

I made this recipe today and plugged in all the ingredients and divided it by 3 which was plenty enough for me, maybe a bit too much. I am in good standing with my calories today, so it's all good. It came out to be 320 cal. per serving. I was DELICIOUS.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT RECIPE0 -
