Recipe: Rice salad with beans, mango and jicama
Briefly

As warmer weather approaches, maintaining a healthy diet can be challenging. As a Registered Dietitian, I advocate for having an oversized bowl of grain salad readily available to avoid impulsive and unhealthy snacking. This particular grain salad, inspired by a recent trip to Mexico, combines jicama, green onions, corn, and mango with a tangy lime dressing. The inclusion of brown rice and black beans makes it substantial on its own, while its fresh flavors and textures make it perfect for pairing with grilled proteins. It is easy to prepare and keeps well for days.
