Asian Shrimp Black Rice Salad with Mango, Pineapple, Kale, and Cilantro is a light, hearty, filling meal from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

Writing this post today is incredible difficult for one reason.. I am out of ingredients to make more of this Asian Shrimp Mango Black Rice Salad, and can't wait to enjoy another mouthful of this deliciousness.

Asian Shrimp Mango Black Rice Salad is so hearty it doesn't feel like eating a typical salad, and a great healthy dinner option with only 394 calories per serving..

I used Village Harvest Black Rice as the base for the salad with it's delicious, earthy flavor. It contains plenty of iron, vitamins, minerals, and fiber making it the perfect start to a healthy, hearty salad, alongside shrimp, pineapple, mango, kale sprouts or baby kale, and cilantro.

The mango and pineapple help keep the salad light yet filling, providing that wonderful balance of sweet and sour flavors so common in Asian cuisine.

A simple Asian Vinaigrette is then drizzled over the top made with rice wine vinegar, sesame seed oil, soy sauce, fresh ginger, and seasonings, to deliciously compliment, and infuse the flavors.

Asian Shrimp and Black Rice Salad is equally delicious served warm on a chilly winter day, or chilled for an easy, healthy lunch or dinner.
