Raspberry, Avocado & Mango Salad. Y'all should really make this. Like, immediately. →[More:]The raspberries I bought were, unfortunately, moldy, so while I was able to throw a few blackberries on the top, I didn't get the full berry extravaganza. Nevertheless, oh my god was this a good salad. I used butter lettuce and sunflower sprouts for the greens. I forgot how absolutely divinely lovely sunflower sprouts are.

I left off the nuts, but I would definitely recommend a nut component. It felt like it needed pine nuts to me.

I can't make it immediately because of all the ingredients they call for, I only have ground pepper and onions on hand. :x
But I always really like the recipes you post, so I'm bookmarking this. Thanks Occhi.

Pepper and onions do not a salad make. At least, not a good salad. :-)

pepper, onions, corn, cilantro, a little sugar, and oil and vinigar do a pretty good salad make, though.

Thanks for the idea, Occhiblu! I'm always excited to find new salads.

I made a yummy salad for dinner tonight - romaine, corn, black beans, strips of toasted tortilla, mango salsa, and tomato. The guys added chicken and monterey jack. We used a creamy ranch type dressing. Everyone said it was great.

This salad sounds amazing. I love fresh fruit with greens so much, especially with something nutty.

Oooh, everyone else's salads sound good, too.

This salad was the saving grace of dinner. I did a grilled chicken and polenta with nectarine/blackberry salsa thing for the main course, and it was really just kind of eh. Not bad, and I felt virtuous eating it since it was all very healthy and lots of raw fruit, but it was just not very exciting.

So I was a bit dejected when I moved onto the salad, but the salad made up for any shortcomings in the main dish. Yum yum yum yum yum. I wish I had made more; I'll have to track down some more mangoes.
