This Black Bean and Mango Salad is so quick and easy, it barely qualifies as a recipe. But it explodes with pizzazz, pairing the sweet summer burst mango (let’s hear it for fresh, seasonal and local — summer means mango season in South Florida) with a zing of chili. Black beans add fiber for fullness…
Social Justice with Urban Oasis Project | Sweet Potato Salad
Social justice is making news now, and the whole world is paying attention. Attention is great. Action is better.

Mango Pulp Fiction – Naked Mango Salad
I wrote this many years ago, in the rich, riotous throes of Miami mango season, long before Covid-19 altered life for all of us. Even in these dark, uncertain days, it’s mango season once again. Savor the sweetness and believe in the bright, sunny days to come. I’d intended a loftier, more literary tone and…

Seven Sacred Foods Salad
Three Holidays, One Umoja Recipe I had Chanukah in mind with this recipe, which I demoed yesterday at Temple Solel’s first-ever Jewish Vegetarian Food Festival, but it would be happy to be on anyone’s holiday table. With Chanukah, Christmas and Kwanzaa all clustered together in the same week, it’s an opportunity to celebrate our cultural…
Quinoa with Cashews, Mango and Mint
Magic mangoes, sexy salads, sweaty me — and so worth it. I had so much fun being part of Fairchild Garden’s Mango Festival, plus it gave me the opportunity to upgrade a mango recipe and give it a new tropical twist. My old quinoa and mango salad recipe is serviceable, but Mango Fest made me…
French Lentil Salad
Tender new asparagus, fresh artichokes as big as your head, sweet, sun-kissed apricots, hyssop plants and two puppies so young their eyes weren’t even opened — I wanted everything at the Thursday farmer’s market in Chinon. I wanted the wild poppies and lavender of June and the golden light of the French countryside, too. None…
