    Lentil, Arugula, Mango and Quinoa SaladPin

    If you're going to a 4th of July party this year, bring this crowd pleasing salad. For this Lentil, Arugula, Mango and Quinoa Salad recipe, I used mixed quinoa because it's what I had on hand, but feel free to use a traditional white quinoa instead.

    Serve it as a side dish or with wedges of pita bread as a light appetizer, or add shrimp or chicken and serve it as a main dish.

    Buen provecho!
