Sasha's Kitchen: Mango Salad with Mint Vinaigrette



Mango and mint go together so well.  I love making this salad, which is a simple mango goat cheese salad with a minty vinaigrette, which I have always referred to for some reason as my "mighty mint" vinaigrette.  It has a fresh, mint taste, along with a bit of a tropical aura.  This is an easy salad to make on a weeknight, and is always satisfying.  I've been under some external stressors lately that have been cutting into my cooking energy but this is a meal that's healthy which I can make even when I'm busy dealing with other things. 

Sasha's Mango Salad with Mint Vinaigrette
1 mango, diced
fresh mixed salad greens
pecans, either halves or chopped
4 oz crumbled goat cheese
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp meadow honey
2 T diced mint
1 tsp mustard
2 T red wine vinegar

Assemble the salad with the mango, greens, pecans and goat cheese.  Combine the mint, honey, oil, vinegar and mustard for the dressing and shake well.
