Yummy Salad

I found a really good bean salad from Cooking Light.
Mango and Black Bean Salad
1 1/2 cup chopped mango
1 cup thin sliced green onion (I used half red onion half green onion)
1/2 cup wild rice, cooked (I used brown)
3 T chopped cilantro (i used one cube from TJ's)
2 T salsa
2 T lime juice
2 T olive oil (I used only 1 T)
3/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 15oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

Mix all gently and chill. Serves 6. Serving is 2/3 cup and it is 167 Calories per serving.
*I also added green pepper thinly sliced because i just happened to have tons in the fridge. My changes make the calorie count different but i think it would be close.
They said to serve it with Pork but i made some fish. We had it for dinner. I think it would be good on mixed baby greens or spinach.

Yesterday I also made a white bean spread and put it in a wheat pita with spinach and cuc's. I sprinkled a bit of feta and calamata olives on top. That was really good to ;)

Sounds tasty, except for the cilantro! Blech! Evil little green cubes, those are.
But I'm sure it was wonderful. :)
