1 cup Quinoa, rinsed well under warm running water and drained
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon cider vinager
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
4 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped (i have also used pine nuts here)

combine the quinoa and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.

whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, oil, and salt. add the mixture to the bowl with the quinoa, along with the mango, scallions, onion, raisins and walnuts; toss to coat.
