California Quinoa Salad

I found this recipe here. However, I changed it bit so it didn't have soy in it. Also, fair warning...this makes A TON of salad.

Here is what you will need:

2 cup quinoa (regular or red work just fine)
4 cups water (for cooking quinoa)
1 package frozen mango, thawed or 1-2 diced fresh mango
1/2 large red onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped
1-2 heads chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
3/4 to 1 cup unsalted, dry-toasted slivered almonds
3/4 cup raisins (currents and cranberries will work too)
Juice of 4-5 limes
3-4 tbsp. golden balsamic vinegar

Instructions:
1. Rinse quinoa and cook as directed.
2. Fluff quinoa well when done, spread out and let cool.
3. Add all other ingredients and toss.
4. Enjoy cold.
