Ann Esselstyn:  "It vanishes in a flash. It's our all-time favorite summer salad.  Make sure there is PLENTY of lime - it makes the difference!  This is also good as a salsa."  

Dr. Joe:  Fresh limes are best; use the juice and the pulp.  Occasionally too much zest can be bitter, which would ruin the dish.  Don't zest too deep, or to be on the safe side, don't zest at all.  A small lime yields about 3 TBSP of juice - if you want to cheat with bottled juice.  More would be OK too.

Serves 2:

1 mango, peeled and diced
One 15-oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed.   [one cup, a little less, also works; amount is not critical]
Red onion, diced, to taste (about a half an onion
Cilantro . . a lot  (1/2 cup or more!)
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 juicy lime, squeezed.  

Combine all ingredients and serve in a bowl or on a bed of arugala or baby lettuce, or mache if you can find it.
