What makes this salad pop is the honey vinaigrette dressing. Because this salad has sweet ripe mangoes the honey vinaigrette really enhances the sweetness of the fruit.

Cook’s notes: I like to use honey vinaigrette especially when I add sweet fruit to my salads. I like how the honey brings out the sweetness of both fresh and dried fruits. Try honey vinaigrette anytime you add strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, pears, and even dried fruits like apricots and dates.
