    Lentils and Mango SaladPin

    This Lentil and Mango Salad recipe has become a favorite of mine. I love the tangy and sweet flavors, and I also know that I am doing something good for my family and I, serving this healthy dish.

    This salad can also be made with beans instead of lentils, if you prefer. It would make a great addition to any summer buffet or as a weeknight accompaniment to grilled salmon or chicken. It looks beautiful, colorful, and impressive as part of any spread. Hope you enjoy it too.

    Buen provecho!

      Tasty dressing, good, summery salad. I especially enjoyed the mango, and I added spinach.
