– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Quinoa: First, we will cook the quinoa. Rinse one cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any residue. Place the quinoa in a pot with two cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Let it cool.
  1. Prepare the Fresh Ingredients: While the quinoa is cooling, we will prepare the fresh ingredients. Dice the mango, avocado, and cucumber into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with the mango, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Gently mix to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  1. Season the Salad: For the dressing, squeeze the juice of one lemon and mix it with two tablespoons of olive oil. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Serve and Enjoy: And that’s it! Our quinoa salad with mango and avocado is ready to be served. It’s perfect as a light main dish or as a side. Ideal for picnics or just enjoying at home.
