Ingredients | Breadwinners Menu

1 ½ cups water

¾ cup quinoa

1 ⅓ cups cubed seeded watermelon

1 cup sliced red bell pepper

1 cup sliced cucumber

¾ cup sliced red onion

1 small mango - peeled, seeded, and chopped

¼ cup drained pineapple tidbits, juice reserved

1 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped, a few leaves reserved for garnish

Dressing:

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice from the can

2 tablespoons lime juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup canola oil

salt and ground black pepper to taste

4 slices lime

1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

Directions

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Stir cooled quinoa, watermelon, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, mango, pineapple, and chopped cilantro leaves together in a large bowl.

Whisk wine vinegar, honey, pineapple juice, lime juice, and garlic together in a small bowl; drizzle in canola oil, whisking constantly. Pour dressing over quinoa mixture; toss gently to combine. Place salad in a serving bowl; garnish with lime slices, jalapeno slices, and reserved cilantro leaves.

Cook the quinoa in the early morning, or the night before.
