I have this thing with colors.
Most of the times it happens just like that. There are no color rules in my kitchen but as I browsed through my food pictures I realized that color obviously matters to me.
It doesn’t need to be a firework of different colors, sometimes a single mint leaf opens up a new dimension!
I had this tropical salad bowl some time ago at a friend’s place and was amazed by this juicy combination: avocado, mango and tomatoes just fit together so well. It seemed as it was always meant to be. I decided to add some extra fiber in the form of crispy spinach. (Notice the interplay of colors ;))
Exotic Mango Salad
serves one huge bowl
1 ripe mango
1 ripe avocado
10 cherry tomatoes
1 handful fresh spinach
for the dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp salt
1 pinch of pepper
1 tsp mustard (optional)
Peel mango and avocado and cut into cubes. Wash and halve the tomatoes. Place one handful of fresh spinach in a serving bowl and add mango, avocado and tomatoes.
Mix the ingredients for the dressing in a glass and pour over the salad. If you feel the need for something crunchy, top with toasted sunflower seeds.
Enjoy!
