Quinoa salad — very healthy, nutritious, and delicious

4 tablespoons quinoa (grains), rinsed

1/4 cup red onion, chopped

1/4 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup tomato, diced

1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup celery, sliced

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1/4 cup mango — optional, diced

1/4 cup feta cheese, cubed or crumbled

1/2 cup avocado, diced

A pinch of salt

A pinch of black pepper

A pinch of ground cumin

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Juice of 1/2 orange

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar or honey — optional

Water for cooking the quinoa

In a pot, place the rinsed quinoa and add enough water to cover the grains by about 1.5 cm (about 1/2 inch).
Add a pinch of salt. After it comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 18 minutes.
When the time is up, drain any excess water and set the quinoa aside to cool.
Meanwhile, finely chop the vegetables into small cubes.
Add the feta cheese cubes to the vegetables and quinoa, then gently toss to combine.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin with the orange juice, lemon juice, and honey (or sugar).
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss again.
Serve the quinoa salad chilled.
