A Few Words…

This salad has SPRING written all over it!!!

It’s fresh, delicious and was a huge hit when I made it the other day. I’m sure you’re wondering how I got everything so nicely cut in julienne strips. It would have been so much easier if I had a mandolin or if I used my handheld spiralizer, but I cut everything by hand with a sharp knife.

2 week countdown until Passover and I’m adding this salad to my Seder menu. Since I don’t eat kitniyot during Passover I won’t use sesame seeds in the salad plus I’ll be replacing the Thai chili sauce with either a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, chili power or paprika. I’m sure that it will taste just as good!

I’d love to hear from you! Do you use mango in your salads?
