This is one of my favorite salads I like to make with grill nights or to bring to a barbecue. You can add a variety of elements to make it your own very easily. Try it tonight.

Ingredients:

4 Mangos-ripe but firm (cut into bite-sized cubes)

1 red bell pepper(cut into small pieces) 1/4 cup

1 can black beans 15 oz (rinse and drain)

1/2 cup of cilantro microgreens

2 tbsp red onion chopped (you can use more if you like)

1 tbsp chopped jalapeno

substitute for jalapeno - 2 tbsp chopped empress nasturtium

Ingredients for dressing:

1 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp orange juice

1/8 tsp cumin

1 tsp honey

dash of salt

1/4 cup grapeseed oil or avocado oil(optional ingredient)

In a small bowl mix all the ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the dressing, then drizzle over the salad. Refrigerate until ready to serve then mix and serve. You can serve in a bowl and guests can scoop some onto their plate, or you can serve on a lettuce leaf ( like butter lettuce is a good variety)
