What you’ll need:

  • Endive Leaves

The great thing about this salad is that it can be presented two different ways. You can chop all of the ingredients and mix them together like a tossed salad.

The mango adds just the right amount of sweetness and juices, that a dressing is not necessary. However, if you still feel you need a little more moisture in this delectable combo, a Strawberry Vinaigrette is the perfect compliment.
