Thank you!
Can’t wait to try this Salad…it has the most refreshing ingredients. I love mangos in the summer time. The fresh greens and the citrus dressing sound both delicous and revitalizing. Definitely going to use the pumpkin seed variation; it should pair up perfectly with all the other layers of flavor, making it a great recovery meal. I work construction and am constantly on the look out for a tasty way to replenish all that the sun takes out. Thanks for the great recipe and for naking this my “go to site” for amazing vegan food!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!
Love love this salad

Thank you! That’s quite a testimony that even your husband that doesn’t like mangoes loved it. And more, mangoes for you, right? 🙂 lol
