This makes for a perfect brunch side dish during summer. If you love the sweet & tangy taste along with a bit of crunch this is your salad.
This is surely going to be a crowd-pleaser if you try making this salad next time you have guests over. It barely takes 15 minutes to put together, this awesome, fresh & gorgeous-looking salad.
This has all the beautiful colors, a variety of flavors, and a crunchy texture.
This has the best zing from chilies, that go well with sweet & ripe mangoes.

I have been cooking for a long time, I work to make my recipes interesting for advanced cooks but still accessible for beginners. I like to keep it simple & authentic to the best of my knowledge.
I approach cooking with an emphasis on family-friendly food and the tastiest ways to eat healthy together! When not in my kitchen, I’m often reading or painting, and exploring the best food locations whenever I can.
Food has a special ability to bring people together. I often find this in my own life and I hope you will find that this online community feels just as welcoming as a real kitchen. For me, cooking together builds the best communities, let’s get cooking together!
