MANGO STRAWBERRY SALAD
Mango Strawberry Salad is a refreshing, delicious, colourful summer time salad. Easy to make, it can be served as a side dish or as a light meal. We enjoy this salad as a light lunch option as I add mozzarella which makes it filling. As for the dressing, add any of your choice.
Ingredients
- 1 medium mango ripe but firm
- 8-10 strawberries
- 1-2 cups salad leaves
- 8-10 mint leaves
- 8-10 almonds
- 6-8 small mozzarella balls
- Salad Dressing of your choice
Instructions
- Roast the almonds in a wide pan over low heat for 3-4 minutes. Make sure you stir them all the time to avoid burning them.
- Alternately, roast them in the microwave oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Allow the almonds to cool before you chop them into halves.
- Peel and chop the mango into bite size pieces. Add them to a mixing bowl.
- Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters or thick slices. Add to the chopped mango.
- Add the salad leaves and mint too.
- Cut the mozzarella balls into halves or quarters and add to the salad.
- Add the almonds. Toss the salad.
- Chill it in the fridge till required.
- Add the salad dressing just before serving or serve the dressing on the side.
Notes
- Add any salad dressing of your choice.
- Replace mozzarella with feta cheese, tastes equally good.
- Replace mint with basil leaves.
- Use a mango that has no or very little fibre.
