Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 2 whole Ripe mango
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Toasted sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or moisture and place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel the ripe mangoes and cut the flesh into thin strips or cubes. Add them to the salad bowl with the spinach.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl. If the taste of raw onion is too strong for your liking, you can soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes beforehand to mellow it out, then drain before adding.
Sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds over the salad mixture for a nutty, crunchy texture.
If using feta cheese, crumble it into small chunks and scatter it over the salad for a creamy and tangy addition.
To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving. Gently toss all the ingredients together to evenly coat the spinach and other components with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy this colorful and flavorful Mango and Spinach Salad!
