Quinoa Curry Salad with Mango & Cranberries

1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup quinoa

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

dried cranberries
(I added these, you can probably add anything, but these go great w/ the mango & curry flavor)
1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced (this is so hard to do..if you can find frozen mango & defrost it, it is so much easier. I love to use fresh ingredients if I can, but getting mango fresh is a process)

3 green onions, chopped (chives work good too)

Bring chicken stock, quinoa & spices to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 minutes. Once done, allow quinoa to cool to room temperature. Add the mango, cranberries and green onions/chives. Serve either at room temperature or cold. Great for leftovers too!
