SPINACH AND MANGO SALAD



Spinach and Mango Salad image

An out of this world salad that will have your dinner guests begging for the recipe. It is also versatile - summer berries are a nice alternative. I wouldn't normally tout a brand, but the only company I know that makes maple flavored balsamic vinegar is Wildly Delicious in their distinct tall blue bottles.

MANGO, CHICKEN AND SPINACH SALAD



Mango, Chicken and Spinach Salad image

A light and refreshing entree salad inspired by a Weight Watchers recipe. But don't let this meal's origin stop you from trying this. If mango is not available, then peaches and peach nectar should also work well. I have presented two ways to prepare the dressing, a simple vinagrette and a warmer version thickened with cornstarch. For those following the Flex Program, the salad is 4 points per serving. For Core folks, the salad is Core plus 1 point for the non-Core dressing.

SPINACH AND MANGO SUBSTITUTE SALAD



Spinach and Mango Substitute Salad image

This recipe evolved from recipe #35547. The second time I wanted to make that recipe, I had nothing but the spinach leaves so I started substituting everything. The result was very well received, so I thought I would share it. I estimated the amounts so it might need a little tweaking. Bon Appetit.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) package washed spinach leaves
2 mangoes, diced
3 scallions, chopped
sunflower seeds (optional)
4 tablespoons white vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar substitute
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients for salad in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients and add to salad.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Make sure to use fresh, ripe spinach and mango. Avoid any wilted or bruised leaves or overripe fruit.
  • Cut the mango properly: To avoid getting stringy mango in your salad, make sure to cut it correctly. First, cut the mango in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the pit. Finally, slice the mango into thin strips or cubes.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing can overpower the delicate flavors of the spinach and mango. Instead, use a light and refreshing dressing, such as a simple vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra texture and flavor to your salad, add some crunchy elements, such as toasted nuts, seeds, or crispy shallots.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach and mango salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the spinach will wilt and the mango will lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach and mango salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and sweet and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give spinach and mango salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
