Southwestern Black Bean, Quinoa, and Mango Medley
I know I have yet to post a recipe which involves actual cooking (which I do plenty of, I promise), but I wanted to share a recipe I made a while back from Skinnytaste. I love dishes that involve chopping up lots of different ingredients and throwing them into a bowl...which is almost all you have to do to put this one together! It's a Southwestern Black Bean, Quinoa and Mango Medley.
What you will need:
15-ounce can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 cup cooked quinoa (according to package directions)
1 cup corn
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mango
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
juice from 1 medium lemon or lime (I used lemon)
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground turmeric (I omitted this ingredient because I didn't have it on hand)
Put beans, quinoa, corn, and chopped ingredients in a large serving dish.
Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, and spices together in a small bowl and drizzle over the mixture. Mix all together with a large spoon.
