" This salad always surprises, people due to amazing flavour combination of a sweet & tangy mango with peppery rocket.From hesitatingly trying it, to devouring every bit is the normal reaction. I also, tend to mix this one up and sometimes add pomegranate seeds for added colour and crunch. Use whatever nuts, you favour, I love the umami flavour of pine nuts. Do give this one a try, its really summery, fresh and fabulous ..."
Ingredients :
- 1 bunch of mixed greens( rocket, lettuce etc.)
- 1 ripe mango cubed
- 3 tbsp of roasted pine nuts
Dressing :
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepeper to taste
Method :
- Tear the leaves and layer the bowl
- Top with mango and cover with cling film and chill till ready to eat
- Make dressing by putting all ingredients in an empty bottle and shaking it well
- Just before eating, dress the salad, mix well, top with pine nuts and devour
Notes:
- I normally take 1/4th rocket + 3/4th red leaf lettuce, but you can choose the greens dearest to you, do take some amount of rocket, else you loose the peppery/ sweet/ tangy combination
- Add a handful of pomegranate seeds, for extra pizaaz
