This Red Quinoa and Mango Salad with Lime Dressing is a nice combination of sweet, tangy and a little spicy with lots of healthy protein that makes a very satisfying meal. What I like most about this recipe is that it's very versatile and you could add, exclude or change any of the ingredients into your favorite combination of flavors. The other thing I like about it, is that most of the ingredients (with the exception of the quinoa and black beans) aren’t cooked and are fresh and raw. You could also made this an even more filling meal by adding it in a tortilla (gluten-free, if needed) and making a wrap with it.
