Confetti Quinoa Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

This awesome recipe is from the Healthy Living Revolution Cookbook that is part of the Juice Plus Shred10 program.  As always, I made a couple small changes to suit my taste buds and list those in parenthesis.  However you make it, I am sure you will enjoy it as much as my family does!

Ingredients

2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
1 - 14.5 oz. can black beans, rinsed & drained
1/2 red pepper, diced
(1/2 green pepper, diced)
1 mango, diced (or substitute 1/2 diced zucchini)
1/2 avocado, diced
1 green onion, sliced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2-3 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, beans, pepper, mango, avocado, green onion and cilantro.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients to make dressing.  Pour over quinoa salad and toss to coat.
3. Chill until ready to serve.
