\n
It’s mango season here in the region. The groceries are full of the most delicious mangoes: big, ripe, heavenly-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth mangoes! My kids happily take them as alternative to chocolate or sweets that they pester me for at mid-afternoon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

While my whole family likes to eat the mangoes just by themselves, I love a combination of sweet, salty, bitter and other flavors. This Mango Arugula Salad is one of those concoctions: sweet mango, bitter arugula, salty feta, fruity-sour dried cranberries and nutty almonds take me to heaven.This salad is whipped up in no time. A perfect lunch for me (that I don’t have to share :-)!
