Mango and Tomato Salad
We were inspired by the "Martha Show" to pair red ripe tomatoes with sweet orange mangoes for a simple and refreshing arranged salad. The sliced fruit is drizzled with a light honey sweetened vinaigrette that would also be nice with crisp lettuce greens. Originally served as part of 5 Kid Draw.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon clover honey
- ½ teaspoon freshly squeezed juice lime
- salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium ripe mango
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 3 leaves fresh basil (cleaned)
Instructions
In a ramekin, we stir together the vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. While stirring with the fork, we add the oil slowly and set aside.
On our cutting board, we slice the mango into two pieces on either side of the pit. We peel each piece and thinly slice. The tomato is halved and it too is thinly sliced.
We arrange the mango and tomato slices on a plate, alternating the fruit. We stir the dressing again and drizzle over the salad. Finally, we tear the basil leaves over the salad and serve.
