Recipe:

Ingredients: 

• 1 large mango diced
• 10 strawberries diced
• ½ red bell pepper diced
• 2 ears of corn kernels removed
• ¼ cup shallot minced (about 2 medium)
• ½ jalapeno minced (or to taste)
• 1 14 ounce can white navy beans drained and rinsed
• ½ cup cilantro minced
• ¼ cup mint minced
• ¼ cup basil minced
• tortilla chips

Dressing:

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice add the zest for an extra lime-y kick
• 1½ tablespoons hot honey or regular honey for a mild version
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
• ½ teaspoon cumin or chili powder for more heat
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or expeller-pressed canola oil

Instructions

1. Combine the fruits, veggies, beans and herbs in a bowl.
2. 1 large mango,10 strawberries,½ red bell pepper,2 ears of corn,¼ cup shallot,½ jalapeno,1 14 ounce can white navy beans,½ cup cilantro,¼ cup mint,¼ cup basil
3. Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients except the oil. Add the oil in a steady stream, whisking vigorously until it’s incorporated. Taste and adjust the flavor to your liking…add salt if needed, lime juice for more tartness, or honey for more sweetness. There’s already plenty of sweetness from the mango and strawberry, so don’t overdo it!
4. ¼ cup apple cider vinegar,2 tablespoons lime juice,1½ tablespoons hot honey,1 teaspoon Dijon mustard,½ teaspoon onion powder,½ teaspoon salt,½ teaspoon cumin,¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
5. Add about ⅔ of the dressing to the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Taste and make sure there’s enough dressing, add more a couple of tablespoons at a time. Everything should be lightly coated, not dripping with dressing.

If you can give it at least an hour to marinate, it’ll be even better! Serve with tortilla chips. It’s best the first day, but will be good for 2-3 days.
