I first saw this recipe in an old issue of Martha Stewart Living and discovered that it’s also at MarthaStewart.com. The vivid colors drew me to this salad recipe and I knew I had to try it out! It’s not a combination I would have thought up myself for a salad, but I really liked it…the soft, sweet mango wedges combined with the crunchy cucumber slices and radishes taste really great with the tangy-sweet lime dressing!
I made a few small changes to the recipe on Martha’s site—I didn’t add lime zest to the dressing like the original recipe says to, and I added a little more honey to the dressing. It’s such a healthy, summery salad…you could serve it at a brunch or as a side at lunch or dinner—or have a larger serving and make it a light meal!
