Yesterday I wrote about some simple green tips for better health. One of the tips was to include more raw foods into our diet and so I though it would be fun to share 3 delicious salads over this week that we make at home!

Growing up, it was not uncommon for my family to have 3-5 different salads for dinner during the summer months. I now find myself repeating this tradition in our home. Thank Mom and Dad! Salads are a great way to keep the stove off during the summer heat and to ensure that we are getting the nutrients we need for great health. I hope you enjoy this one, two more amazing recipes are coming later this week. Please let me know how it turns out in the comments below.

Serves: 4

Prep: 15 minutes

Mango Pepper Salad

1 large ripe organic mango, flesh cut off seed and squared

1/2 organic red bell pepper, seeded and julienned

1/2 organic yellow bell pepper, seeded and julienned

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or mint leaves (not shown as chopped in photo)

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon agave nectar or pure grade A Canadian maple syrup

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients, toss and serve. Can also allow to cool in fridge for 1/2 hour.
