Chilled Chile Corn Mango Salsa Quinoa
compliments of the guy working the Trader Joe's sample counter
(That last word is pronounced keen-wa, not quin-o-uh.)
((Oh yes I did use the latter pronunciation until about two weeks ago because I'm just that cool.))
1 c. uncooked organic red quinoa
1 ripe yellow mango, sliced and diced
1/2 jar of Trader Joe's chile corn salsa
1. Mix 1 c. uncooked o.r.q. with 2 c. water in pan. Bring to boil and cook 10-15 minutes.
Then, pour into serving dish.
2. Mix in sliced and diced mango.
3. Mix in 1/2 jar of TJ's c.c.s.
4. Chill 1-2 hours until slightly cold.
So easy and delish!

Did you know quinoa is actually related to leafy greens rather than grains? It's true, though it behaves nutritionally like a grain, but packed with protein. Quinoa is gluten free and high in calcium, too! It's an excellent sub for rice. Give it a try!
