Blueberry Mango Quinoa Salad

New recipe for our family some really like it and others really didn't!  I will add more blueberries and mango in the future.  Be careful with the dressing it can be overpowering.

1/2 c. quinoa
1 c. water

Place in a pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 15 mins., or until quinoa is cooked.  Remove lid and fluff with a fork.  Let cool to room temperature.

1/2 c. fresh blueberries
1/2 c. cubed fresh mango
1/2 c. cubed cucumbers
1 T dried cranberries

Combine fruits and refrigerate until ready to use

1 1/2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T lemon juice
1/4 t. lemon zest
10 Basil leaves, chopped finely
salt and pepper to taste

Refrigerate all dressing ingredients, except basil, until ready to serve. 

When ready to assemble add 1/2 of dressing directly to the quinoa.  Toss the quinoa, fruits, together, keep the other half to the side.  Toss in the basil and serve immediately.

(I added all of the dressing and it was overpowering)
