Quinoa salad with peanut dressing

I don’t know if I told you that, for years, the most read text on my blog was the one about quinoa. It seems that this pseudo-grain is very common in your diet, which makes me very happy. It is extremely healthy, nutritious, and gluten-free, and it can be combined with various foods. That’s why I created a quinoa salad recipe, adding vegetables and peanut dressing. Bon appetit!

Servings: 2

Salad ingredients:
2 cups raw quinoa
1 cucumber, diced
1-2 red and green pepper, diced
2 mangoes, diced

½ handful of cashews, finely chopped

Peanut dressing ingredients:
½ cup peanut butter
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1-2 tbsp chili sauce
