Refreshing Quinoa Salad with Mango, Cucumber, Avocado & Black Beans

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 1 can black beans, rinsed drained
• 1 fresh mango, cubed

• 1 cucumber, seeds removed and diced
• ½ cup mint, chopped
• ½ cup fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped

1. Place the quinoa along with 2 cups salted water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to the lowest heat setting. Simmer until water is completely absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 20 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and garlic.
