Summer is not totally over yet, so I am making you a Mango and Black Bean Quinoa Salad. I just love salads.
Last month when I went home to Boston, my stepmom made this awesome pasta salad with mangoes, black beans, corn, pasta, cilantro and lime. I really enjoyed it, so I decided to come home and make a twist on that recipe. I used quinoa in place of the pasta, since I am not a huge pasta fan. I think this came out really good!
This would be perfect for parties and it’s also very easy to make. This Mango and Black Bean Quinoa Salad is vegan and gluten free. I highly recommend topping it with avocado. So good!
We shot a short video for this recipe. You can view it below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
