Summer salad


It's a gorgeous day here in Brooklyn.  After a long walk outside, I came in and put together this salad for lunch.  

Ingredients:
2 cups mache (or any kind of salad greens)
2 small radishes thinly sliced
1 cup cooked yellow wax beans
1/2 avocado diced
1/4 mango diced
1/8 red onion thinly sliced (scallions would also be good)
a little bit of cilantro chopped up
pinch of salt

The only real cooking here is the wax beans.  I cooked them for a few minutes in boiling water so they were still firm but tasty.  Then just throw all the ingredients together and drizzle a bit of olive oil and red wine vinegar on top.  It was a quick and refreshing salad for a hot day like today.
