Today’s yummy dinner is SPICY MANGO LIME SALAD
I’ve really developed a fine tuned intuition when it comes to cooking. I can also make something out of nothing. Just call me Jesus (note sarcasm please). Today while strolling through Kensington Market I picked up some scallions and red peppers. I needed the peppers for a Lentil Butternut Squash Curry I was originally planning on making for dinner. Then something drew me to scallions. Then when I got home, I took stock of what we had in our 3 tiered fruit stand and I saw the mango starting at me. It was perfectly ripe. Then I saw the limes….PERFECT!!!!
I used RAINBOW SALAD…yes, it’s pre made and in a bag, but at only 25 calories a serving it rocks. Cabbage, carrot, broccoli and cauliflower make up the the finely shredded contents. Use this as a great base for an ANYTHING salad…and more interestingly a substitute for evil pasta. www.hungry-girl.com has great recipes.
This is where things get more interesting. I chopped some red peppers, scallions and added them to a HUGE salad bowl already containing the rainbow salad. I set that aside.
Then I whisked up a killer dressing. Juiced a LIME. Added 2 teaspoons of flax oil, 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of crushed chili, a pinch of sugar and sea salt and black pepper to taste. YUM!
Dressed up the salad/veggies. Portioned it into two bowls. Topped with chopped mango and left over crushed almonds from last night. VOILA! DONE! Delicious, refreshing and totally healthy.
My man loves me.
