Black Bean Mango Salad

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

3 cups diced mango (about 2 large or 3 medium mangoes)

1 cup diced cucumber (1/2 English cucumber or 2 Persian cucumbers)

1/2 cup diced red onion (about 1/2 medium onion)

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (about 1/2 pepper)

2 tablespoons seeded and fine diced jalapeno (1 large jalapeno or 2 serrano peppers)

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes halved

3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (or Napa cabbage)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and light green stems)

1 can (14 oz) cooked black beans, rinsed and drained, or 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups cooked beans

For the Dressing:

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 large lime)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt, or 1/8 teaspoon regular salt (adjust to taste)

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional – for a mild version, skip)

1/2 teaspoon agave syrup or maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Prepare your vegetables and mango using a vegetable chopper for even pieces. For the tomatoes, use a

knife to halve them, slice the cabbage thinly, and chop the cilantro finely.

In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients.

For the dressing, whisk together lime juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne, sweetener, and olive oil in a small

bowl until emulsified.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve for the best

flavor.
