MANGO-CUCUMBER RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring until tender, 25 to 35 minutes (depending on the rice blend).
• Meanwhile, bring a separate saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and cook until tender, about 12 minutes.
• Drain the grains and rinse under cold water until cool; shake off the excess water.
• Whisk the lime juice and zest, the peanut oil, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the rice mixture, mango, cucumber, jalapeno, scallions, cilantro and peanuts and stir to combine. Season with salt.

CUCUMBER MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Cut cucumber and mango into cubes. (TIP: Check out my easy method of cutting mango into cubes in the post above.)
• Transfer into a medium bowl along with cilantro. Pour the dressing and toss to combine.
• Refrigerate the salad for 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. But don't mix the salad more than half an hour before serving, or it'll become soggy and sad.

MANGO CUCUMBER SALSA

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and let sit in fridge for an 30 minutes or more. This will keep one or two days if it lasts that long.
• I like to add the red pepper -- mostly for color. It just looks so lovely with the bright orange of the mango.

• Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients, plus the remaining lime juice and zest, in a bowl and combine well. Spoon onto plates and top with the cod, spooning over any juices in the dish.
