Mango & Bacon Salad w/ Mango Vinaigret

This mango vinaigrette marries perfectly with the smoky bacon and crispy greens in this surprising salad!

I remember first seeing a salad making a dressing using pineapple.

I was so intrigued by the sweet and savory profile of the recipe, I knew I had to use it a favorite winter fruit: Thai mangoes!

I absolutely love sweet and salty combinations, and this beautiful and vibrant dressing was too colorful not to work with!

I could eat this salad everyday, it is so scrumptious, and so beautiful to look at. 

I love to eat it for my lunch and make a pig of myself eating a whole bowl…it’s just so darn good!  So even though it might sound a bit weird…just TRY it, and then see for yourself!

What kind of mango is best for  mango vinaigrette?

I exclusively use Thai mangoes in this recipe.  They are sometimes times called different names: I’ve seen Champagne and honey.  They are about the size of your yellow, and shaped like an over sized lima bean!  

They are THE best mango, I don’t actually even care for the larger green variety most people associate with mango.  I use them in my Mango stick rice too…which will knock your socks off!
