3. Slightly crush the pecans so they are not whole halves, add to bowl.
4. Dice mango, no skin, Be very careful as this is slippery! Add to bowl.
5. Add cooled quinoa & honey. Turn carefully with sppon to coat all of the above with honey.
6. Eat immediately or cover and store for maybe a day or less as the fruit will become mushy. Makes a refreshing dessert!
Equals 6 - 1/2C servings
**Only cooking time is for the Quinoa.
