Mango Black Bean Quinoa Salad
This is one of the easiest recipes you can make. No kitchen even required! I usually buy the Seeds of Change brand precooked grains. However, I also recommend home cooking your grains and beans and keeping them stored in the freezer until you want to use them. This saves money, and makes your easy vegan meals a little more nutritious because you can control any added salt and oil.
