MANGO QUINOA SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa (1/2 cup) in a mesh sieve until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium pot and cover with 1 cup water and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Turn off heat, allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the zest and juice of one lime, the olive oil (1/4 cup), and kosher salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
• Once the quinoa is cooked, rinse under cold water in a mesh sieve until completely cool. Shake off as much excess water as possible.
• Add the cooked quinoa, mango, tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and onion to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat.
• For best results, allow to refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to let the flavors marry.
