     What better way to celebrate all the fun flavors of summer than to combine them in one bowl and label it a salad !!!???  Genius  ;)  Each cup runneth over with 164 calories, 20g carbs and 6g protein.  Couple this with a nice grilled Salmon or Chicken and create the perfect party on your plate !!!  ;)

     Bring 2 cups water and cup of Quinoa together to a simmer covered for 15-20 minutes, or til water cooked off, cool and set aside.  Combine Quinoa, Black Beans, Corn, Bell Pepper, Mango, Green Onions, and Cilantro.  In another small bowl combine Sriracha, Lime Juice, EVOO, Garlic, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt and Pepper, then pour over Quinoa mixture and blend thoroughly.  Serve and Enjoy  ;)
