This is one of my favorite salads, and really easy to make.
Fresh mango is best by all accounts, but I have a twist that makes frozen cut mango an ideal alternative. Especially for outdoor afternoon bbq or picnics, I put the frozen mango cubes and lemon juice directly in the salad bowl, and add the tomatoes and herbs on top. Then I do other things until the mango thaws, and then toss in the lettuce (I like spinach), and serve it while it’s still chilled.
Very popular on hot afternoons.
