Name: Mango Salad Recipe
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 2 cups of baby spinach or chopped into bite-sized pieces; 1 medium mango, cubed; 2 green onion, thinly sliced; 1 red bell pepper, thinly chopped; 2 carrots, thinly sliced; 4 sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped; 1/4 cup of dried cranberries; 4 Tbsp of olive oil; 1 tsp of water; 1 Tbsp of apple vinegar; 1 Tbsp honey; 1+1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice; 1 cm of ginger root, grated; 1 garlic clove

I really enjoyed this salad; I think it has a lovely balance of sweetness and bitterness. There is also an interesting mix of textures; mangoes have a lovely soft texture while the rest of the ingredients are crunchier, I love that. Do you add fruit to your salads? I do, especially in summer, when we make this mango salad recipe a lot.

I made this mango salad recipe for the first time a couple of months ago and everybody loved it. For me it has similar flavours to a Thai salad; could be because of the lemon & ginger dressing.

This is a simple salad recipe that requires only a few ingredients: mangoes, spinach, blueberries, carrots, onion, red peppers and coriander. But you can play around with the ingredients to suit your own individual tastes. I usually have this salad for dinner; it’s colourful and refreshing. It’s also vegan and gluten free.

My aim this summer is to eat more salads, if you would like to do the same here are some of my go-to salads:

A delicious Kale salad

Roasted sweet potato salad

Green bean salad with brown rice

Quinoa tabbouleh salad

I think these salads are so filling, which is great as I don’t have to cook a second dish.
