  1. Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Add mango, red pepper, green onion, black beans, and cilantro.

Recipe Notes

Quinoa: the recipe calls for cooked quinoa. I used about 3/4 cup dry quinoa and cooked it in chicken broth to get the 2 cups cooked (I measured out the two cups cooked and had a bit leftover in the pot).
