Quick and Healthy Quinoa Salad

February 4, 2014

Springtime will be here faster than you know it.  This strawberry mango quinoa salad is a light and healthy dish that welcomes springtime flavors.  Since strawberries are not in season yet, you can substitute with orange segments until the berries appear in the market.  This salad can be made ahead of time and becomes more flavorful the longer it sits.
