This is a great summer or any time salad. You can make it the night before or the same day .
Here I go:
1 ripe mango, diced in cubes ( take the skin off)
2 limes juiced
about 1/ c red wine vinegar
about 1/4 c of extra virgin olive
1- 15oz can black beans,rinse the beans
2 cups of cooked long grain rice (i used basmatti, I love the texture and the smell it gives off while cooking)
1 c of cherry or grape tomatoes sliced in half (grape tomatoes are
much sweeter)
1 clove of crushed garlic
1/2 small red onion chopped
1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped, optional
salt and pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl. Stir Well. Taste it to make any adjustments.
Place in fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Stir before serving.
You can serve this with a nice piece of grilled fish, chicken ,a steak, tacos or whatever you like.
It makes for a great lunch the next day , if you have any left
ENJOY!!

Cavatelli with broccoli,* chicken and white beans
I know everyone knows about Cavatelli and broccoli it's fast, simple and tastes great, a lovely combination.
Well I am going to add a little spin on it. A few more ingredients can make it a little more exciting.
* Grill some boneless chicken breast .Drain and rinse one can of white beans of your choice .
Bring a large pot of water, with a little salt, to a boil, drop in your cavarelli (frozen or homeade) cook till almost done, then add the broccoi when the caatelli are done drain, the broccoli should be al dente. Save a 1/4 cup or so of the pasta water
Heat some olive oil in a saute pan, add some sliced garlica,at least two to three cloves, (do not let it burn) toss in cavatelli and broccoli add a little chicken or vege brooth. Cut up chicken breast, add it to pan with beans, gently stir. Top with some grated cheese and the pasta water salt, pepper and chopped fresh Italian parsley. Heat through. Put into a serving platter and top wtih more cheese. Serve in bowls.
A nice green salad goes well with this. Use baby mixed grrens and your favorite dressing.
*omit chicken if your are a vegeterian!
