Salad is not really my thing. I like it as a side, but it doesn’t really satisfy me as a main meal (I think I’m missing my carbs), but when I pushed my trolley along the aisles of my local supermarket yesterday, I picked up some mango and avocado and thought “Hm, this could be quite nice in a salad with chicken” and it was as I found out later that day. Amy wasn’t to keen on the mango in the salad as to her fruit should not be mixed with vegetables, but she happily ate the rest of it and really liked the dressing – which ironically had mango juice in it!
