Yummy Red Quinoa with Mango, Scallions and Cilantro

Lisa Pitelli of Smiling Dog Yoga in SLO turned me onto this combination of ingredients at her amazing Cafe.

I did not get the proportions right, but it was still delicious.

1. Cook Red Quinoa according to Box Instruction.

(Usually 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water.  bring to a boil.  soft covered simmer for 15 minutes).

2. Mix dressing ingredients together:

- smashed garlic

- minced serrano

- yellow curry powder

- lemon juice

- plain yogurt

- olive oil

3. Toast slivered or sliced almonds.

4. Mince a bunch of scallions and some cilantro.  Dice some mango.

5. When Quinoa was done, I allowed it cool a bit.  Then I tossed it with the dressing, almonds, scallions, mango and cilantro.

I made too much dressing, so the salad was "too wet".  But it was still good.
