Beautiful summertime salad. The most difficult part is timing it so that the mango and the avocado are sufficiently ripe at the same time since grocery stores usually sell them in a pre-ripened state. Attractive presentation. Read More

This was pretty good. I ended up adding more OJ to the dressing because the sesame oil was overpowering - I would cut the sesame oil in half next time. This probably won't become a dinner staple for us but it's good when you're looking for something different. Read More

This is excellent for those who enjoy eating healthy meals. The flavors work wonderfully together and there is such a nice variety of fresh ingredients most children can find something they enjoy. I will make this again exactly as it is written. Read More

Very tasty! My husband who does not like salad dressing even enjoyed it. I spiced up the dressing a bit by adding a teaspoon of Sambol Olek and it was great! Read More

This is a visually attractive salad perfect for ladies' luncheon. While we all liked the taste of the dressing we thought it was too thin. Didn't coat the salad which made it kind "drippy." Couldn't think of a way to thicken the dressing at the last minute. Read More

Delish! This was a nice 'don't have to measure anything' recipe! All the flavors combined well. Left out the cheese and used 'Light and Fresh Dressing' (from this website) since this one got mixed reviews. Read More
