How to Make our Beets and Mango Salad?

This is an easy salad to prep the ingredients, arrange it on a serving plate or platter and serve.

What you’ll need:

For our beets and mango salad recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• fresh beets or already cooked beets – about 2 to 3 small or medium-sized. 
• mango – one medium-size mango will suffice.
• some fresh herbs – freshly cilantro and Italian parsley.
• red wine vinegar – a splash to give this salad additional acidity.
• seasonings – some salt and maybe black pepper to taste.
• added prewashed fresh greens – from any salad mix you prefer.
• raspberry dressing – I used a bottle of organic Annie’s Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette. But you can use your favorite raspberry dressing with this recipe.

Directions to Make This Salad:

Let’s discuss how to make this salad:

1.  Once your beets are ready, peel and chop them. Then peep and chop the mango.   

2.  In a mixing bowl, toss everything together.   Here is where you can chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes or more before serving it.

3.  Next, lay a bed of fresh greens on a plate or serving platter.  Spoon the beets and mango over the greens.  Drizzle over the salad with the remaining dressing in the bowl and serve.

4.  This salad is best chilled. 

*Great Tips:

• Chopped cooked beets with stay fresh for up to 4 days, when kept chilled.
• Mango on the other hand, if it is ripe, will only stay fresh for up to one or two days, and especially when it is chopped and tossed into this salad.
• It is best to serve this salad within 24 hours.
