I think you can’t really call it a simple garden salad when it has MANGO dressing — change name to sensational garden salad 😉 Sounds so goodReply
Mirlene

Loved the variety of vegetables in this salad and the sweetness from the mango and berries. I cooked the broccoli slightly as I otherwise get some indigestion. The dressing was very tasty! Also nice on fish, by the way.Reply
