Mango Blueberry Salad

Mango Blueberry Salad is a beautiful salad that is as good to look at as it is to eat. Fresh mango and blueberries with goat cheese and a honey goat cheese vinegarette.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just crave fresh fruit, especially mangos. And I could eat blueberries like popcorn. Truth is that I actually do (insert wink).

Until I moved to south Florida 12 years ago, I hadn’t had too many mangos and definitely not fresh mangos. I’m fortunate because they are abundant here and I usually buy 2-3 a week. My favorite type of mango is the Haden Mango. I read somewhere that it is the “parent” of all mangos and the original Haden mango tree still stands somewhere on the west coast of Florida. How’s that for a little mango history (smile)?

I was inspired to make this salad by a salad I used to pick up at a local store during my lunch hours. It was made with spinach, blueberries and sprinkled with goat cheese. It came with a poppy seed dressing that was delicious. For my Mango Blueberry Salad, I used fresh Haden Mangos, blueberries, honey goat cheese and made an amazing salad dressing using a bit of honey goat cheese, more honey, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a little salt and pepper.
