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.

This salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I wasn't sure about this salad at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The flavors are amazing and the red quinoa is a great addition. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm always looking for new and healthy salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The red quinoa gives it a nice nutty flavor, and the mango and avocado add a touch of sweetness and creaminess. I'll be making this again for sure!

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