Quinoa Breakfast Salad Recipe - I think the original recipe did not have cilantro and mint, but I like herbs in my salad, they make my breakfast more tasty and refreshing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup regular quinoa or red quinoa
• 2 cups water for cooking quinoa 
• 1 mango, peeled and diced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/3 medium papaya, peeled, seeded and diced
• 1/3 small bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1/3 small bunch mint, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. honey, real maple syrup, agave nectar - optional sweeteners 
• macro greens for serving

Directions:

Rinse quinoa very well, drain and transfer to a medium pot. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. Transfer to a bowl, fluff with a fork and let it cool.

Mix quinoa with fruits, herbs, honey, pinch of salt and lemon juice. Top with macro greens and serve immediately.
