Steps to Make Fruit and Vegetable Salad
- Step 1: Prepare the ingredients.
Step 1: Clean all greens, cabbage, bell peppers, and shallots thoroughly. Drain them well. Then slice and shred all ingredients separately.
Step 2: Make the salad dressing.
Combine mango, garlic, apple cider vinegar, water, red chili, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined, for about 1 minute.
Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, usable for up to 5 - 6 days.
Step 3: Combine the salad
Place romaine lettuce and various cabbages into a large bowl. Add bell peppers, shallots, and cilantro on top along with diced avocado. Pour the spicy mango dressing over the top, toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and chopped almonds. Serve and enjoy!
Enjoy immediately in a large salad bowl or divide into four smaller salad bowls.
NOTE
Feel free to add diced cucumbers and/or shredded carrots for extra color, flavor, and texture.
Almonds and sesame seeds provide a bit of protein, but feel free to substitute with edamame beans or green peas in the mix. Additionally, tofu, either silken, grilled, or pan-fried until crispy, would also be delicious!
