Chicken, Mango, and Black Bean Salad Topped with Vegan Cilantro Lime Sauce (SCD Friendly)

Last month we were out to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Dos Coyotes (a certified gluten-free establishment)*, and Scott had the most amazing burrito: chicken, mango, and black beans with a cilantro lime sauce.  Let’s just say we had the exact same thing the very next night, here at home, SCD style. 

Ingredients
-1/2 cup cashews, soaked for 8-10 hours
-1/2 cup cilantro 
-1/4 cup filtered water
-3 tablespoons oil
-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-1/4 teaspoons salt
-1/4 teaspoon garlic granules 

How To
1.  Blend above ingredients until creamy 
2.  Serve with grilled chicken and mango salad (or skip the chicken and rock this salad vegetarian style).

Notes:
*This restaurant (North Davis location) is not only certified gluten free, but also eco-friendly.  All their to-go boxes are biodegradable, no plastic is used, no plastic bags, and they utilize sustainable energy sources.  

Build your Chicken and Mango salad!
#1: Curly (aka savory) green cabbage
I also mixed shredded romaine with the cabbage
#2: Black Beans  
These were soaked for about 48 hours, boiled, then cooked with water, Mexican spice mix, and onion
#3: Grilled Chicken 
Top with mango, red onions, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro lime sauce, and fresh cilantro 
Serve with a side of grain free Spanish rice 
Salud!
