Mango Quinoa Black Bean Salad with Zesty Orange Dressing

Place the quinoa in a medium size saucepan and add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl place all of the remaining salad ingredients (except cilantro), then add quinoa.

In a small bowl mix whisk your dressing ingredients together. Pour 1/2 cup of your dressing over the quinoa and vegetables and mix in the chopped fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Store the leftover dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator. Enjoy chilled or warm.
