Spicy Mexican Salad (Vegan With Raw Option) image

This originated from an article in Common Ground magazine. If you use sprouted lentils it's 100% raw. To do that you obviously have to plan ahead, so cooked/tinned black beans are a great sub. This salad is super healthy, fresh and tastes great! Serve immediately after preparing, or chill for up to two hours.

I didn't have any mango, so I used pineapple instead. It was still very good.

I didn't have any jicama, so I used radishes instead. It was still very good.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
