Carribean Summer Salad

 Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here is a little salad recipe....
We have made this salad a few times and really loved it! So here it is.

Caribbean Summer Salad:


4 cups torn romaine lettuce   (in the photo I used mixed greens- Romaine is much better- it doesn't get soggy - if you mix the dressing in- use romaine lettuce!)

 3 cups cut-up cooked chicken

 1 can (15 oz)  black beans, drained, rinsed

1 1/2  cups chopped tomatoes

2 ripe medium mangoes, seed removed, peeled and chopped

Dressing

1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

1/3 cup lime juice -fresh is best but the other kind is fine too

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
