Mango Cucumber Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber in wide stripes lengthwise, alternating skinned strips with peel. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces and place into salad bowl.
• Add mangos, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and agave nectar to bowl and toss to blend.

Steps:

• Toss shallot, garlic, chile, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add mangoes and cucumber and toss again. Cover; let sit at room temperature until shallot and cucumber are softened and juicy and flavors come together, 45-60 minutes.
• To serve, add cilantro to chow and toss well; season generously with pepper.
• Do Ahead
• Chow (without cilantro) can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring until tender, 25 to 35 minutes (depending on the rice blend).
• Meanwhile, bring a separate saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and cook until tender, about 12 minutes.
• Drain the grains and rinse under cold water until cool; shake off the excess water.
• Whisk the lime juice and zest, the peanut oil, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the rice mixture, mango, cucumber, jalapeno, scallions, cilantro and peanuts and stir to combine. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Place black beans, cumin, and water in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix mango, cucumber, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; stir in black beans. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator before serving.
