QUINOA WITH MANGO AND CURRIED YOGURT
A four fork recipe from Gourmet Magazine, May 2003 I have posted as the recipe was written, but I only used one cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water, and cooked in the microwave as I do white rice (5 minutes on high, 12 minutes on 50% power, stand time of 10 minutes, then fluff gently with chopsticks or a fork). Stove top or rice cooker would work well also. I think with adding a dressing, steaming is unnecessary. I did use mangoes, and loved the taste, but one reviewer suggested substituting apples, cashews and raisins, and I think that might be interesting too when mangoes are unavailable.

Tips:
- To select the best mangoes, look for ones that are plump and slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid mangoes with blemishes or bruises.
- If you don't have time to cook the quinoa, you can use pre-cooked quinoa instead. Just be sure to rinse it well before using.
- You can adjust the amount of curry powder in the yogurt sauce to taste. If you like a spicier sauce, add more curry powder. If you prefer a milder sauce, use less curry powder.
- If you don't have any cilantro on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as parsley or mint.
- This salad is best served chilled. If you're making it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
