MANGO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• This is a delicious way for me to sneak more fruit and vegetables into our family dinners. More than a 15-minute side dish, this can be dressed this up by spooning it into a radicchio-leaf cup for a first course, complement the next batch of salmon fillets or steaks off the grill, or taken along on your next picnic.
• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, and cilantro together in a large bowl until blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the beans, mango, jicama, and onion and toss gently to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve right away or let stand at room temperature for up to 30 minutes. Toss and check the seasoning before serving.

BLACK BEAN JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• If using canned beans; rinse under cold water well. If using fresh you will need to cook them until tender. I use the canned, it's much easier.
• Dice all veggies except your jalapeno and set aside (don't dice them too fine, you'll still want to have a nice bite to them - Think same consistency as Salsa) Slice your jalapeno into thin round slices (use your judgement on these, less is more but if you're a lover of spicey food go for it!).
• Place all your ingredients in a bowl, mix well, salt and pepper to taste and cover. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
• Serve next to grilled or broiled meat.

• Whisk lime juice, orange juice, lime peel, cumin, and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in small bowl. Mix dressing into bean salad. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.)
