Ingredients:

• quinoa (200g)
• ripe mango, diced (150g)

• olive oil (20ml)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

To start, rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Then, cook the quinoa in a saucepan with double the amount of water until fluffy and fully cooked. Let it cool slightly before transferring it to a mixing bowl.

Next, add the diced mango, avocado, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro to the bowl with the quinoa. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together to combine all the flavors.

Once everything is well mixed, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice for extra tanginess or a pinch of chili flakes for a kick of heat.
