Quinoa Salad With Black Beans and Mango image

From the cookbook Veganomicon, this is a tasty, healthy salad. Author Moskowitz says that with every bite of this dish, new flavors emerge: "Mango, scallions, cilantro, red peppers, you never know what you're gonna get." I am not a vegan, but made this for a vegan bridal shower. It was my first experience with quinoa, and I enjoyed it very much.

I'm allergic to mango, so I used pineapple instead. It was still delicious!

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of quinoa, black beans, mango, and avocado was fresh and flavorful, and the lime dressing added a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again.
