Scale
Salad
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 3 tbsp chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup crumbled Greek feta (optional)
Dressing
- 3 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a bowl, gently combine the diced mango and tomato with the chopped red onion, fresh basil, and fresh mint. Mix carefully to avoid bruising the fruit, ensuring the flavors start blending.
- Add the Dressing: To the same bowl, add lime juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt directly. Toss the salad gently to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing without separating the fruit pieces.
- Add Feta Cheese: If using, sprinkle the crumbled Greek feta over the salad now. Gently fold it in to maintain the creamy texture alongside the fresh ingredients.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh right after preparation to maintain the brightness of the fruits and herbs. Serve it as a refreshing side or a light standalone meal.
- Enjoy: Delight in the blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors in every bite of this colorful salad.
Notes

- You can omit the sugar or substitute with honey for a natural sweetener.
- To make this salad vegan, simply skip the feta cheese.
- Chill the salad briefly if desired, but serve within an hour for optimal freshness.
- This salad pairs well with grilled meats or as a refreshing summer meal on its own.
