Mango 'Cowboy Caviar'

(15)

Recipe Intro From cathstable

Allow me to introduce you to my *elevated* version of the trending Cowboy Caviar. This one uses sweet mango and fresh herbs, plus it's topped with a honey-garlic dressing that ties everything together. This is a great dish to serve at a summer BBQ and to eat with chips or alongside grilled chicken or coconut shrimp. I like to toss any leftovers on top of some massaged kale with feta for a bright and easy weekday lunch
