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!

Oooh, Amber, I could sure go for this one! I agree with Tessa by the way. I want you to bottle that energy of yours and send it to me, please! ;-)
ReplyDeletexo,
Shirley
Thanks Shirley! I like to take advantage of feeling great and be as productive as possible. It's my nature I guess. :-)
DeleteWe just finished our leftovers today of your delicious Carrot Apple Soup and then I saw this post. Wow! Can't wait to try it. Keep these babies coming.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a note here Nancy. I'm tickled you enjoyed the soup - it's one of our favorites and always leaves me feeling awesome!
DeleteHave a beautiful week. :-)
Amber, I LOVE that Cilantro Lime Sauce! I'm bringing a salad today for a Cinco de Mayo dinner, and now I know what to make! Thanks for a delicious recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
DeleteI hope you enjoy as much as we do. Fun to have a nice combo of flavors (I'm nuts over cilantro and lime)!
Turned out awesome! I added some avocad obecause I needed to use it and some cayenne for a little zing....wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tessa! You're the best. So glad you enjoyed it. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh geez louis! This looks amazing. We might just have to have this for lunch today!. Thanks for sharing it with us at Whole FOod Wed.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very tasty... I can only have walnut & pecans, could I replace one of those for the cashews?
ReplyDeleteHi There Mickey,
DeleteThe walnuts might work. If you can have dairy, you can make it with a sour cream base. The cashews are just very special in that way - they make a very creamy sauce. Let me know a little more about your diet restrictions and I can assist you a little more with subs. Have a great rest of your day.
Hi Amber,
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I can't have any gluten, dairy, casein, soy, corn, MSG, sugar, beans, seeds, nuts & aspartame. With some exceptions, I can have green beans, walnuts & pecans. Also I have to eat all organic and can have only organic chicken & wild fish. I was so thankful that I could eat coconut. That would be so terrible if I couldn't... lol Thank you for your wanting to help me, I really appreciate it. It's been hard, I've messed up several times with things that I didn't know. Thank goodness for bloggers. I really want to get a Vitamix now, I'm saving up for one. :)
Hope you have a fantastic day. Michelle
Hello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - you sweet thing. I'm sorry to hear about all your restrictions. But with restriction comes possibility! I would try the walnuts for sure as a base. It will be a little grainy, but it will work. Soak for as long as you can...12-20 hours and rinse a few times. I'm also so glad you can have coconut! I use it in so many recipes. Keep me posted on what you come up with okay! :-)
Hi there! Found you through the Sunday Salads carnival and this all looks too yummy. I especially love that cilantro lime sauce (with cashews no less! yum!) and have pinned it for use very soon. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello and nice to meet you and thank you for stopping my and leaving such a nice comment. :-)
