Best salad ever!

This is absolutely the best salad that I've ever had - even my 14 year old and 12 year old boys ate the whole lot!

Full of nutrition: strong plants & fruit, and perfect assistance for your fitness - remember 70% of your health is done in the kitchen. Don't kid yourself that you can eat junk, train hard and you'll still be fit.

  • 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup each of: chopped apricots, pure mango juice and chopped fresh corriander
  • 1/4 cup each of: diced carrots and cashew nuts
  • Chopped spring onions x 4
  • Garlic cloves x 2 - crushed
  • 2 tablespoons each of: olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon each of: Soy sauce and grated fresh ginger
  • Season to taste

Add last: 4 cups of chopped baby spinach or fresh lettuce

1. Mix all the ingredients (except the spinach) together well in a large bowl, cover bowl and place in fridge over night to marinade.
