When thinking of a salad recipe, there are so many choices out there that it is overwhelming. With only three ingredients, you will learn how to make a tasty salad.
I am not sure if it’s due to being a mom of three or just feeling the need to simplify my life now that I am really enjoying making easy and simple recipes. They are efficient and delicious that you could appreciated each ingredient for what they are. I have learned to appreciate a simple salad (literally only the leaves) from my stay in Italy that I was so chocked to get only spinach leaves and a drip of olive oil as a salad…yes, seriously.
If you are like me then you are in luck because this salad is so easy to make that a two year old could make it.
Although mango is a fruit that you usually eat during the summer, I feel like this easy salad can be made anytime of the year.
Last but not least, the vinaigrette does make the salad. The orange juice in it is everything!!!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
