1. Rinse quinoa well. Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, prepare Chili-Lime Dressing by combining olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Set aside.

3. Add black beans, corn, bell pepper, mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to bowl with quinoa; gently toss. Pour in dressing and toss to coat.

4. Adjust seasoning as needed, add optional toppings and serve.

Rachel: This could be a nice salad for a potluck, though we had it as a main (4 big bowls).

The recipe author likes Trader Joe’s fire-roasted corn and fresh mango. I used canned corn and frozen mangoes because that’s all I had. I also added diced grape tomatoes just because. All of that made mine more bland, so I made extra dressing to compensate (not doubling but maybe 1.5 the original measurement).

I also don’t like the taste of olive oil, so I replaced half the oil with just water. Tasted better then to me 🤷🏽‍♀️
