Mango and corn quinoa salad with a zesty kick.
Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml red quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1L vegetable liquid stock
  • 2 corn cobs, kernels removed
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 5.00 gm ground paprika
  • 1 large mango, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 250.00 ml coarsely chopped coriander
  • 65.63 gm lime juice
  • 2 avocados, quartered
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable stock. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Lower heat to medium and let simmer with cover on for 15 minutes. Allow to rest, covered, for another 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels, stirring frequently, until slightly blackened, about 5 minutes. Let cool before using.
  • In the same pan, warm oil over medium heat. Sauté onion for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in spices and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Allow to cool.
  • Combine the chilled corn and onion mix with quinoa, fresh mango, chopped coriander, and lime juice. Season to taste and garnish with sliced avocado before serving.
