Creating your Fiesta Mango Quinoa Salad is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Rinse Quinoa: Thoroughly rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, which can be bitter.
2. Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water (or vegetable broth). Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
3. Cool Quinoa: Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
4. Prepare Veggies: While the quinoa is cooling, chop the mango, red and green bell peppers, and red onion. Place these in a large mixing bowl.
5. Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the corn, black beans, and cilantro into the vegetable mixture.
6. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
7. Combine: Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the vegetable mixture. Pour the dressing over everything and mix gently until well combined.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as preferred.
9. Chill: For best flavor, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
