I am a big fan of going out to eat. But sometimes this hobby can be quite damaging to the wallet - can you relate? So for this get together with friends, I proposed cooking together! Nothing fancy, just using something that I already had in the refrigerator. I read off the list to Kellie - mango, shrimp, avocado, quinoa. That was a pretty good start. Kellie came over with the rest of the ingredients, and the salad came alive! Enjoy. Scroll all the way down to see what we had for dessert - thanks, Anna!
Ingredients
1.5 cups cooked quinoa
12 ounces cooked shrimp, chopped
1 mango, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
Dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
Directions
1. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Whisk dressing ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the salad. Gentle toss to combine.
3. Serve with a dollop of sou cream.
Here's our decadent dessert :)

is that the yellow bowl I used to have too? I miss it!
I don't really get the sour cream, but everything else looks great! I'm guessing you lucked out on getting a ripe mango. I had to throw away the last several ones I bought.
actually i was skeptical about sour cream as well until i tried it. it was perfect! and i totally did luck out on the mango!
