Sweet and savory flavors packed into a nutrient rich salad with a lime dressing to top it with!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans,, 15 oz, no sodium added
- 1 ripe mango;, diced
- 2 cups spinach,, chopped
- 1 cup bell peppers,, chopped
- 1 small red onion
- ½ cup green onions,, chopped
- cilantro;, optional
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 clove garlic,, minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
For the Dressing:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine lime juice, cumin powder, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined.
For the Salad:
- Rinse and drain the black beans.
- In a salad bowl, toss the spinach, bell peppers, onions, and green onions.
- Add the black beans and mangos just before serving. If using this salad to meal prep, keep the black beans and mango separate and mix just before eating.
- Toss the salad with the dressing or drizzle on your own plated salad.
- Optional: top with cilantro, jalapeños, avocados, salsa, sour cream, cheese, whatever your tastebuds are craving!
Notes
- I made my dressing in advance to let the garlic flavors soak in.
- A great addition to the salad was some vegan esquites that I used to mix in.
- This made enough for the 2 of us plus left overs for both of us the next day. If you are using this to meal prep for the week, I recommend doubling the recipe.
