I wish I had fresh mangoes every day so I could eat this salad every day. The flavors here are POWERFUL without being overpowering, and you get so many textures in every bite. You get sweetness, creaminess, chewiness, tang, bite…and the curry flavor adds so much intrigue! You’ll have to remind yourself to slow down. It’s that good.
This is a perfect lunch for one, but it’s a great side dish to serve others, as well.
