Cucumber, Mango, and Spinach Salad

I have been cooking quite a bit with mangoes this summer.  They are so flavorful and add beautiful color to salads and salsas.  I found this recipe on the 21-Day Vegan app.  The app is free and I highly recommend it to find recipes to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch or bag of fresh spinach
• 1 mango, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
• 6 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped 
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar  (You could leave off the vinegar and dress the salad with olive oil.)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

• Wash and drain spinach, tear into bite-size pieces, if necessary, and put into a large serving bowl.
• Toss mango, cucumber, green onions, and basil in a medium bowl.  Add lime juice and vinegar and stir to mix.
• Arrange mango mixture on spinach and sprinkle with black pepper.

Colorful and Delicious!

This is such a refreshing, summer salad.  You could pair this salad with hummus and Simple Mills Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers.  You could also make a wrap using a Siete wrap and place hummus inside, too.  Any way you decide to eat this salad, it will be delicious!
