Quinoa Salad With Black Beans and Mango

"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."

  1. This salad is so colorful and pretty. I used red quinoa and added a cup of cucumber to mine, which was perfect with the rest of the flavors.
     
  2. This is super, super good. I made only a couple changes to the recipe: the mango I had to work with just totally fell apart, so I threw in a pint of raspberries that needed to get eaten. I also tossed in a small handful of crushed walnuts. I'll definitely make this again--hopefully with a mango next time!
     
  3. So tasty. Easy to make, and looks really pretty when its done.
     
  4. This is an incredibly good, easy, and beautiful recipe. I had just cooked up some quinoa for my first time and was looking for recipe ideas when I found this and happened to have all items on hand. I rate this one a definite WOW!
     
  5. Super recipe. My daughter who hates onions loved this salad. The mango I used was very ripe and added a nice sweetness to the dish. Daughter recommends that I add more mango next time but still loved the recipe. I did not have grapeseed oil so used 1tbsp olive oil. Delicious and easy recipe. Thanks.
