This month I want to highlight Judith Scharman Draughon, MS, RDN, LD, (AKA Judes) the “How to Dietitian Nutritionist.” She takes the science and translates it into delish, easy and healthy everyday meals! Her recipes are practical for the busy person on the go.


This Mango Quinoa Salad is a sneak peek to one of the delicious recipes included in the Judes’ new book, Lean Body Smart Life; 12-Fix Plan to a Leaner, Healthier, Happier Life. This refreshing salad is packed with healthy nutrients. Quinoa, a complete protein, combined with crunchy celery, sweet tangy mango, and lime, makes this salad a winner.

Instructions
  1. Cook quinoa with 1 1/2 cups water (as directed by the package).
  2. Meanwhile, chop celery, red pepper, onion and cilantro. Mix all these ingredients with black beans in a bowl.
  3. Add cooled quinoa (my brother puts the cooked quinoa in the freezer, pan and all while, while he finishes the other ingredients) and toss.
  4. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice and real maple syrup together to make dressing.
  5. Add dressing to salad and serve. If serving later, reserve some of the dressing to add to the salad just prior to serving, and keep salad in refrigerator to chill.
