Delicious Zesty Mango Salad
- 12 red beet
- 1 medium ripe mango
- 1 small iceberg lettuce
- 12 lemon
- 12 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 cup pitted black olives
- 3 -4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons light olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 lemon rind
- 12 cup feta cheese
- salt and pepper
- Julienne the beet root while wearing gloves to protect your skin from discolouration.
- Bring a pot of slightly salted water to a boil and add the lettuce.
- Leave in 2-3 minutes and then remove and place in a ready ice-bath to stop the cooking and keep the colour vivid.
- Core the lettuce and separate the leaves.
- Peel the mango and dice roughly into cubes.
- They're best when mashed and irregular.
- :).
- If you are using canned olives, soak in a bath of water at room temperature for 5-10 min to reduce the intensity of flavor and then cut each in half.
- TIP: Place the olives in a single layer on a flat counter top and press down with the underside of a plate- then use a sharp kniife to slice all in half in one go!
- In a bowl, combine olive oil and vinegar and finely chopped garlic, and toss in the beet and mango.
- Add in the olives and peanuts.
- Garnish with the grated lemon rind, salt, pepper and feta.
- Squeeze in the half lemon.
- While plating, toss the salad over a bed of the blanched lettuce, and voila!
