Salads are an all time favorite food of mine, and I always have my wheels turning for versions that don’t have tender lettuces. Ones with heartier bases like, beans, kale, and here – mango, hold up well when prepped in advance. Also increasingly I am sometimes becoming dissatisfied with storebought dressings and am frequently just making my own. It’s kind of always surprising how good dressings can taste with simple ingredients and this spicy honey one is VERY QUICK to whisk up in a bowl.
For this recipe I used sioux honey – pure honey, with nothing added, made in the usa by family beekeepers who care about making trustworthy honey.
