Tropical Twist: Coconut Mango Quinoa Salad Recipe

Today’s Healthy Eating Recipe: Coconut Mango Quinoa Salad

Greetings, my fellow foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my latest creation: a refreshing Coconut Mango Quinoa Salad. As we transition into the warmer months, I find myself craving light and vibrant dishes that are both nutritious and satisfying. This salad is the perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a delightful addition to any meal.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• quinoa (200g)
• coconut milk (200ml)
• mango, diced (1 medium)
• red bell pepper, chopped (1/2)
• cucumber, diced (1/2)
• red onion, finely chopped (1/4)
• fresh cilantro, chopped (a handful)
• lime juice (from 1 lime)
• salt and pepper to taste

To bring this recipe to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• saucepan
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• measuring cup
• mixing bowl
• spatula

Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the diced mango, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

This Coconut Mango Quinoa Salad is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together. The combination of sweet mango, crunchy vegetables, and creamy coconut quinoa is a taste sensation that will have you coming back for more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g. As for the calorie count per serving, you can expect it to be around 250 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. It enhances the tropical essence of the dish and adds a delightful texture to each bite.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Coconut Mango Quinoa Salad as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or add a protein of your choice to make it a complete meal. Bon appétit!
