Ingredients And Swaps For Mango Salad
Arugula / Mixed Greens: This is where you can apply personal preference. I think this salad is best made with at least some peppery arugula. The bitter greens mingle well with the sweet, herbal dressing and rich feta.
Mango: Make sure to use a fresh, ripened, juicy mango. The feel of the mango under your press should feel tender, and the fruit should smell sweet and fragrant.
Vegan Feta: You can swap this ingredient for dairy feta if you are not following a vegan diet.
Red Onion: Make sure to slice the onion thinly. If your onion is exceptionally pungent, you can reduce the amount at your discretion. Remember to embrace your gut feeling!
Avocado: Avocado makes this dish exceptional. The combination of juicy mango and rich avo leaves your body feeling satisfied and nourished. I would not recommend leaving them out!
Selecting A Great Mango
The mango is the centerpiece of this fruity salad. From the dressing to the base, a well-selected mango will either make or break your salad experience.
Here are a few tips to follow for success
Press: When selecting, gently press on the mango; a ripe mango will give slightly under your touch. A medium ripe will be firmer; go for the juiciest!
Smell: Give the stem a sniff. The mango should smell sweet and aromatic.
Color: the mango should have turned green to primarily yellow/orange.
