"Today I finally made the black bean/mango/quinoa salad. Oh, SO yummy.I forgot to buy green onions, but decided it didn't matter. And I used coconut oil instead of grapeseed oil-- the subtle coconut flavor goes really well with the mango and other ingredients My body was very happy to receive the food..." :) kri
