SUMMER KALE, AVOCADO, MANGO, AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH CITRUS POPPY SEED VINAIGRETTE

Summer Kale, Avocado, Mango, and Chickpea Salad with Citrus Poppy Seed Vinaigrette image

This is a delicious summer salad. Great as a dinner salad with some grilled chicken or fish, or as a side. This is my first experience with kale, and I'm hooked! Add nuts (walnuts, cashews, slivered almonds), sunflower seeds, or dried fruit (cranberries or cherries) for some added texture and deliciousness! I also like to add thinly sliced red bell peppers or Shepherd peppers; it is a salad, anything goes! The citrus vinaigrette is light and refreshing. Sometimes I want a sweeter vinaigrette, hence the addition of marmalade. Apricot would work well, too. A great summertime salad.

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup mango pulp
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Tips:

Select ripe mangoes: Choose mangoes that are fully ripe and fragrant. Ripe mangoes have a deep yellow or orange color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Extract the seed: Cut the mango in half lengthwise and twist the halves apart. Use a sharp knife to slice along the seed, then scoop out the seed with a spoon.
Roast the seed: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the mango seeds on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Cool and grind the seeds: Allow the roasted seeds to cool completely. Once cool, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
Store the powder: Store the mango seed powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can be stored for up to 6 months.
