Lentil Mango Salad

Ingredients

Dressing

2 cups mango, fresh or frozen (thawed)
1 clove garlic
1 lime, juiced
1 green onion
1 sliver of fresh ginger
10 deglet dates
½ tsp chili powder
Water, to desired consistency

Salad

2 cups cooked lentils
¼ red onion, chopped
½ cup cilantro, chopped
2 mangos, diced (thawed or fresh)
Green onion, to garnish
3-4 zucchinis

Method

Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.

In a large bowl, mix together the salad ingredients and add a bit of dressing at a time while tossing so you don’t add too much.

To prepare the zucchini, cut the ends off of each side: slice a very thin slice of the zucchini skin off of the zucchini length-wise so that the zucchini boat sits flat. Do this to the opposite side as well. Now cut the zucchini right down the center. Using a melon baller, scoop out the guts of the zucchinis to make a boat.

Using a (real) grill, or a grill pan, or panini press, lightly grill each zucchini boat until tender. Fill with the salad and serve!
