4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a dressing.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced mango, red bell pepper, avocado, cilantro, and red onion.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve Immediately or Chill: This salad can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a cooler taste.
