Summer salad with orange and mango dressing



























Tonight was a salad extravaganza! This was probably the best salad I've ever made (and I have a long salad making history)! I just looked in my refrigerator and threw things in a bowl and blended some fruit and nuts for a dressing. It's simple, quick and delicious! It's nice a and light meal, but also very satisfying and hearty.



























Salad ingredients:

- 2.5 cups of chopped romaine lettuce
-1/2c baby rainbow tomatoes
-1/3 chopped avocado
-1 cup fresh, raw corn
-1 steamed sweet potato, chopped

In a bowl, combine all of the vegetables.
Top with the avocado and sweet potato.

Now onto the dressing!

Dressing:

In a blender, put the following ingredients:
-1 sliced oranges
-1/8 - 1/4c water
-1/2 mango
-12 cashews

Blend until creamy.

Pour 3/4 of the dressing onto the salad and mix.
Top with the rest of the dressing.

Dig in fellow veggie lovers!
