Jicama, Mango & Black Bean Salad





Made this fresh, crunchy, sweet-salty-sour side dish tonight, and went back for seconds!




1 small jicama, peeled and diced



1 can black beans, drained



1 large mango peeled and diced



1/4 of a medium red onion, minced



Good handful of cilantro (or flat leaf parsley) minced




Gently toss the above together with the following dressing:




Juice of one large lime (also add a little of the lime peel, grated)



2 teaspoons your favorite vinegar



1 T. honey



1/4 c. good olive oil



1/4 t. salt

(Whisk all together)




Finally, sprinkle all with Tajin Mexican seasoning (combo of chili, salt and lime -- see picture below) or Tony's Cajun seasoning to taste.

(I love this Tajin seasoning on fruits and vegies!)




Fabulous as a side dish, and would be a wonderful picnic or potluck salad. Also would be yummy on top of fish or shredded chicken tacos or carnitas.
