Tropical Salad, Mixed Greens With Mango, Kiwi & Lime Vinaigrette

Recently I was making my salad for lunch and remembered I had bought mangoes and some kiwi.  I simply peeled and sliced both and added to my mixed greens and grape tomatoes.  I believe in being adventurous and trying new combinations in salads. Makes it healthier and much more fun too!  I topped the salad with a lime vinaigrette.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I admit I’ve been on a mango kick lately, but it’s great in my morning smoothie, fruit salad, and green salads.  I even put some in my chicken salad the other day.  (Sorry I was too busy eating to take pictures.)
