Red Quinoa Salad

Black Quinoa Salad is the more original of this recipe, so refer to that blog for detailed information.  I adpated this a tiny bit since I didn't find black quinoa at TheFreshMarket.  Quinoa is quite expensive there(as are many things), but I needed to do one stop so I got red quinoa there while I picked up my sale items and some Biscoff spread.  And it was on the way home from the Y and the dog park, so it worked!

• 1 cup red quinoa
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 mango, stoned, scooped and diced
• 3 green onions, sliced

• 1/4 cup mint, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce, or soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or to taste
• 2 key limes, juice and zest
•
