Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 mango, peeled and cut into small dice. (I used some frozen mango I had tucked in the back of my freezer.)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced as small as you can get it.
1 cup chopped scallions.
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil.
2 tablespoons of wine vinegar. (I used balsamic vinegar)
1/4 tsp. salt (1/2 tsp. is using Kosher salt)
2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled. (Use Eden organic brand. It's the highest in protein & fiber.)
