Description

Just the pretty colored layers in this salad make me smile. It’s a great make-ahead meal-in-one that is a perfect warm weather lunch or dinner.

  • _____

  • 1-½ cup Diced Peeled Ripe Fresh Mango
  • ½ cups Chopped Seeded Italian Plum Tomatoes (1-2 Medium)

Delicious! I added a bit more of the seasoning to the dressing.

This was very good, and very simple to make. We just made for dinner (didn’t layer it for a potluck), but, certainly would take it to a summer picnic. I’m sure we will be making this regularly this summer.
