Ok so this salad looks good, but does it taste good……
Its so easy to make, and what a combination! This salad is all about summer favours. Fresh peppery rucola, creamy sharp feta, with the star of the attraction -grilled mango.
Wow. I never thought I would grill mango, but what a difference this makes. Fragrant and juicy, but with a warming grilled texture that just seems to make it even better. I was a little concerned whether it would fall apart on me, but if you use a really hot pan, and don't keep it in there for too long -it retains its juices just right.
This salad would be nothing though without its dressing! Thanks to the kind permission of vom Fass (Heilbronn), you get to see some great recipes with their fabulous oils and vinegars that are not normally seen in your local supermarket.
I have to say i was amazed at this mango balsam. It has such a rich powerful mango smell, I wanted to taste it straight away! With low acidity, its just right for this salad. Blending the dressing had a great aroma even before getting to taste….
Mango, Feta, Rucola and a fruit inspired dressing. A great mix of flavours and textures. It’s brilliant for summery evening meals, picnics, BBQ's, dinner parties and just about any meal where a little taste sensation is needed. Try it for yourself! Wow your friends this summer season….
