Doesn't this salad just look so amazingly beautiful! The secret is in the salad dressing; lemon juice, coconut oil, ginger, salt and jamun compote! That really is all it takes for this yumminess to happen.
The slightly tangy dressing complimented the ripe mango perfectly with bits of parsley peeking through in each mouthful!
I added cucumber as well which added to it refreshing taste. This was surprisingly filling as I had it for lunch. Quinoa is packed with protein, perfect for vegetarians like me!
