Still trying to do good after weeks of holiday indulgence? This salad is light in every respect except taste. Its exotic flavors will be like a resort vacation for your palate — a welcome break from the hearty soups [1] and stews of the season.
While tropical fruits may seem out of place in a Winter salad [2], mangoes are often shipped from countries like Brazil, where it's Summer and peak growing season. Serve the salad alongside plantain chips and pomegranate-mango guacamole [3] for pure paradise.
For a stunningly simple meal, .
