GGS Feature Recipe: Spicy Strawberry Mango Salad

DSCN2104When I was asked to bring a salad to a dinner party, I wanted to make something a bit different than a boring Caesar salad .  I found a similar recipe like to this one but made some minor changes  and made some changes and viola it was a hit!

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 8 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped almonds
  • 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries 
  • 1 peeled and chopped mango 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Whisk together the oil, sugar, poppy seeds, garlic powder, dry mustard and vinegar. Refrigerate until chilled.
  2. In a salad bowl, combine the strawberries, mango and mixed greens; add dressing and toss. Sprinkle with almonds.
