Ingredients

  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 English cucumber, halved and sliced into half moons
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh ripe mangos, peeled and sliced (about 4-5 mangos)
  • 1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl combine the spinach, cucumber, bell pepper, mangos, shallot, pomegranate seeds, and herbs. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper flakes (or another chile pepper you like).
  2. Add the lime juice and about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. Transfer the salad to a serving plate. Sprinkle a bit more pepper flakes all over. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Leftovers and storage: store any leftover mango salad in a tightly covered glass container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Recommended for this recipe: Aleppo-style pepper for a subtle heat. And as far as olive oils go, for this salad, I like to use a flavorful olive oil that has a bit of a peppery finish such as our Spanish Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil, which is moderately intense, fruity with a slight bitterness.
