Summary

What comes to mind when you think of smoothies? Most likely it’s fruit with a hint of veggies and more sweet than savory. But salad lovers can enjoy smoothies too! Blend your favorite salad ingredients to create a deliciously creamy smoothie that’s packed with flavors from cucumber, lime, cilantro (optional!), and shallots (yes, shallots!), with a little mango for just a touch of sweetness.
