- 8 cups mixed greens (see Kitchen Notes*)

- ½ cup slivered yellow or red bell pepper

- 1 container (6 ounces) Beecher's chipotle-flavored cheese curds (see Kitchen Notes**)

- 2 tablespoons roasted green pumpkin seeds (see Kitchen Notes***)

1. To prepare dressing: Whisk together lime juice, orange juice concentrate, chili powder, salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil, whisking well. Refrigerate.

2. To prepare salad: Cut a thin slice from the ends of the mango. Set on one end and slice away the peel. Then slice large sections off of the center pit. Cut into ¼-inch wide pieces. Cover and refrigerate.

3. Remove stems from greens and tear larger leaves into pieces. Put into a bowl, cover with a paper towel and refrigerate up to 3 hours. Prepare bell pepper and refrigerate.

4. About 30 minutes before serving, remove cheese from refrigerator and drain.

5. To serve salad: Toss the greens with a little of the dressing and divide among 4 plates. Top with mango, yellow pepper and cheese. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and drizzle remaining dressing over the top.

Times Kitchen Notes:

* A blend of greens such as spring salad, arugula and romaine compliments the other ingredients in this salad.

** Pepper jack cheese, cut into small cubes or thin strips, can replace the Beecher's curds in this salad.

*** Green pumpkin seeds can be found at Whole Foods or Metropolitan Market, as well as health food stores.

Toasted pine nuts can be substituted.
