Chipotle Quinoa, Mango & Corn salad

The flavour combination of mango and lime has to be one of my absolute favourites and I try different salads and salsas with them in it. This time I wanted to bulk it out a bit and add a little spice so have changed it up. 

This can be eaten on its own for a lunch, or as a side with any protein. Its also nice and easy to put together too!

Ingredients:  

120g quinoa
200g tinned sweetcorn
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/2 red (bell) pepper, finely chopped
small bunch coriander, chopped
1 mango, flesh chopped
1 avocado, chopped
1 jalapeño, finely chopped

dressing:
2 tbsp. olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, crushed
 squeeze of runny honey
1 tbsp. chipotle paste
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Tip into a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the grains have swollen, but it still has a little bite. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients and combine. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the quinoa salad. Stir well and season with salt & pepper and an extra squeeze of lime if needed. Enjoy!
