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!
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 jalapeƱo, finely chopped
dressing:
2 tbsp. olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, crushed
squeeze of runny honey
1 tbsp. chipotle paste

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!
