Mint Mango and Cucumber Salad

Enjoying the beautiful warm and sunny weather, everyone seems to be smiling a bit easier and so much more relaxed when you walk outside. We had a particularly long winter and that means we were more sedentary than we wanted to be. This means lighter fare and so I am clean eating and that involves coming up with some lively recipes to keep my taste buds happy and my body healthy. I had some ingredients I didn't get to use while juicing that worked perfectly together, so I decided to make a bright, flavourful salad to go with our supper last night. I think you and your loved one's will really enjoy it.

I served it with string beans and gremolata seasoned white fish, it was a big hit. Leave your comments below and don't forget to subscribe!
