MANGO AVOCADO QUINOA SALAD

I used the sunny day to cook outdoors. From the top of Bjørndalsfjellet (362 m a.s.l.), nearby Sandnes (Norway) there is a beautiful view of the four corners of the world. Quick salad with a refreshing mango hit the spot! I used ready-made "taco boats" for serving. Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients:

(four portions)

• 1/2 cup quinoa (dry)
• 2 mangoes
• 2 avocados
• 100 g of spinach
• a bunch of cilantro or parsley
• 50 g of a mixture of roasted and salted nuts

dressing:

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of maple syrup
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt and pepper
• a pinch of oregano

Instructions:

1. Cook quinoa in salted water. Drain and cool.
2. Meanwhile, dice the avocado and mango.
3. Mix the dressing with the ingredients above.
4. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over it and mix it gently.
6. Serve the salad in "taco boats".

The place is just as important as the meal.
