How To Make quinoa and mango salad
-
Step 1Put the quinoa in a pan and just cover with cold water. (you can use chicken or vegetable stock instead of water, if desired) Season with salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover pan with lid and simmer for 12 minutes, or until quinoa is tender. Drain well.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, prepare the mango. Cut vertically down each side of the stone (pit). Taking the two large slices, cut the flesh into a criss cross pattern down to (but not through) the skin. Press each half inside out, then cut the mango cubes away from the skin.
-
Step 3Toast the pine nuts for a few minutes in a dry frying pan, until golden. Remove from heat.
-
Step 4Mis together the ingredients for the dressing and season well.
-
Step 5Place the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the herbs and chili. Pour the dressing into the bowl and mix lightly until combined. Season to taste.
-
Step 6Transfer to a bowl or four shallow dishes. Arrange the mango on top of the herby quinoa and sprinkle with the pine nuts.
