We all know that vegetables can bring us nutrients. Either we go for green and leafy or other types. Some vegetables need to get cooked in order to have the nutrients to come out while others can just stay raw. But you can always have vegetables eaten even without cooking them and Mango-Vegetable Salad is one.

Ingredients:

• Romaine Lettuce: Green, thin and crispy
• Spinach: Just like lettuce, but is not crispy.
• Mango: Use ripe mangoes. 
• Mayo: Preferably jap mayo for a healthier salad.
• Egg: Hard-boiled and diced.
• Sesame seeds: Roasted for aromatic flavor.

Preparation:

Salad, as we all know, is just a mixture of various ingredients with cream or dressing. So as in this Mango-Vegetable Salad, we just have to mix everything.

1. Roast: Roast the sesame seeds and set aside. Or you can buy roasted sesame.
2. Green:    Tear/Chop the lettuce vegetables into about half an inch cubic size. Leave spinach as it is or divide the leaf in half.
3. Mango: Slice into cubes.
4. Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine lettuce and spinach. Top with mango dice.
5. Dress: Drizzle with jap mayo.
6. Sprinkle: Sprinkle with roasted mayo.

Non-Vegetarian Salad variations:

This salad recipe has been made vegetarian but you can always have variety put into this. 

• Crab stick: You can add strips of crab stick to this recipe.
• Caviar: You can top this recipe with caviar.
• Chicken: Chicken strips can be added also in this salad. Make sure it’s boiled and salted to taste.

Storage:

• On the Fridge: You can have this in the fridge for 1-2 days but crisp on the lettuce can be different. Place in a sealed container then put in the fridge.
