Hey everyone!!

I HAVE to share this recipe with you!! I learned it from Monica Ward's blog http://networkedblogs.com/LPItd. It is so super simple!! I switched things around a little bit - as usual. But its awesome!! (I didn't use an onion)

Black Beans
1 Mango
1 Red Pepper
BUNCH of cilantro
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinaigrette
Optional: red onion

1. Cook Quinoa as directed. Make sure you let it SIT COVERED for 15 min when its done cooking.
2. Chop mango, pepper and cilantro.
3. Add beans to quinoa. (I used canned). STIR
4. Add mango, pepper, cilantro. STIR.
5. Add olive oil & balsamic. STIR.
6. Let it sit covered for a few more minutes to absorb all the flavors.
